I'm just delighted that you enjoyed yourself, as that is our main goal for every mourner who tours with us.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with her. Do come back at any time. We love making mourners happy and the only next best thing to that, is when they return and mourn again.

10/10 will book again

I booked this tour and made my dad go with me. We both had a blast! Ansley was our tour guide and she was amazing. She is so knowledgeable and clearly is passionate about her work. We ended up missing the last couple of stops due to the limo overheating, but the manager promptly responded to give us a ride back to the starting point, and they gave great accommodations for the trouble. I will absolutely book with Grave Line again!!

Operator response

Jordin, Damn. I am at a loss for words. When you were so understanding and sweet last Friday about the unfortunate "incident" at the Brittany Murphy home during your Death Becomes Her sightseeing funeral limousine tour of LA, I never in my wildest dreams imagined you'd leave us a review like this. As a result, I am stunned, humbled and so deeply grateful to you for being who you are. We would TRULY love to have you back so you can finish Death Becomes Her--or take another tour, but uninterrupted this time. It's mourners like Jordin and his pops that make us the luckiest tour operators on Earth. Thank you so much Sir, Adam, Ansley + Blaze

A fantastic tour for those with a strong stomach and a dark sense of humor

I went on the Death Becomes Her Tour with my Uncles and we absolutely loved it. If you’re into true crime this is a fantastic tour that explores the dark underbelly and stranger side of Hollywood crime over the years. The experience starts the moment you climb into the vintage limousine, Riding around Hollywood and the Hills in a vintage limo while hearing stories about famous scandals, tragedies, and true crime cases is both creepy and surprisingly fun. The tour focuses on the sinister side of Los Angeles history, from notorious crimes to the locations where some of Hollywood’s most tragic stories unfolded. Blaze was a great storyteller and clearly knew the history inside and out. The way they mixed humor, atmosphere, and real historical details made the whole ride engaging from start to finish. Going with my uncles made it even more fun, it’s a great activity for visiting family and friends (as long as they have a good sense of humor and can stomach some gory details because it’s unique and a little bit theatrical. It felt like equal parts history tour, true-crime podcast, and dark Hollywood adventure. If you enjoy true crime, Hollywood history, or just want a tour that’s totally different from the usual LA sightseeing options, I highly recommend this one. We’re still talking about it!

Operator response

Your description really just brings it all "to life", and it is so wonderful to see how much you enjoyed the tour that Blaze, who is admittedly a national treasure, gave. It's so very truly generous of you to take the time out of your day to leave this wonderful fabulous terrific write up about your experience with Grave Line, and to us, it simply means the world. Please come back, we love making mourners as wonderful as yourselves happy, and THANK YOU. Sincerely, Adam, Blaze and Ansley

The most "killer" way to see Hollywood!

We booked the "Death Becomes Her" tour with Graveline Tours to celebrate a birthday, and it was hands down the highlight of our trip to LA! If you’re tired of the typical, sugar coated Hollywood tours, this is for you. Riding around in a vintage funeral limousine immediately sets the perfect moody vibe for exploring the darker side of Hollywood. Our tour guide, Blaze, was absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history come alive. Can’t recommend more!

Operator response

SeeJay, Thank you SO MUCH for your ANOTHER awesome review of your funeral limousine sightseeing tour of dark Los Angeles with the Inimitable Blaze. You two are the best, and we want you back asap. Thank you again so much, Adam, Blaze and Ansley
