Vinewood Cemetery

Vinewood Cemetery is a historic cemetery located in central Los Santos, San Andreas. Founded in the late 1800s, it is the burial site for many Los Santos residents and celebrities. The grounds span over 60 acres containing thousands of headstones and mausoleums.

With its central location near the Vespucci Beach and famous residents, Vinewood Cemetery has become a popular tourist destination. The elaborate tombs of silver screen stars contrast with ordinary family plots, reflecting the diversity of Los Santos history.

History

As Los Santos grew rapidly in the late 1800s, existing church graveyards were unable to accommodate the increasing population. Vinewood Cemetery was established in 1892 as a non-sectarian burial ground open to all residents.

Additional land purchases expanded the cemetery to over 60 acres by the 1920s. Arrangements of winding paths, mature trees, and decorative plantings gave Vinewood a park-like atmosphere that proved popular for visits, picnics, and remembrance.

The opening of the film industry in Los Santos led many celebrities to request burial at Vinewood. Lavish tombs and mausoleums now dot the grounds alongside more modest markers.

Notable Graves

Vinewood Cemetery contains the graves of many:

• Nick Bender - Nicholas "David" Bender, age 26, passed away tragically on August 22, 2023 while protecting his friend's daughter from an assailant.
