Overview

• The 32-acre Boething Treeland Nursery was sold last year to Dignity Memorial, which is preparing to file plans with Los Angeles for a cemetery and funeral facility.
• Homeowners hired Raskin Tepper Sloan and this week sent a letter urging the Planning Department to require a CEQA review and soil contamination testing.
• Hidden Hills informed residents the parcel is outside its sphere of influence, and existing zoning allows the project to proceed without traditional public hearings.
• Project spokesperson Aaron Green says plans call for a garden-like setting with a landscaped privacy wall, discreet lighting and daytime-only services limited to one or two per day.
• Formal designs are expected next month, with construction possible in 2026 and an opening target of late 2026 or early 2027 if approvals are granted, though residents intend to press city officials.
