L.A.'s Crematorium

I've been working on a series for years on where we go when we die. Not so much about death but the mechanics of where our bodies go at various stages of post life. It's not all about cemeteries, you'd be surprised. Here's the latest installment from Los Angeles County's crematorium.

The gravesite marking the ashes from the unidentified people cremated in 1999.


The smell of burning remains filled the air around the facility.


The crematorium used to sit on the adjacent Evergreen Cemetery.
