The fundraiser is being launched by Jessica Wahl, who spearheaded our cataloging efforts of the vault, and found Edmund's urn in March 2023.
We're amazed, humbled, and eternally grateful that we surpassed our fundraising goal in just one day! The fundraiser remains active, and we will continue to accept donations. Funds raised beyond the initial fundraising goal will give us more and better options for the size and location of Edmund's niche at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will also help cover additional costs associated with the transaction, including fees. Thank you all!

Let's make the fundraiser hit it's goal before the Christmas Season arrives. It's almost Halloween as of this video upload!
I hope he gets a resting place before Christmas. It would be a miracle and lovely gift for us fans of the movie. I donated immediately and plan to donate some more as soon as I can. 😊
Already reached the goal!!!🎄❤

Could you also do a video including Lyn Goodman the judge from dancing with the stars tv show that passed away recently. They did a beautiful classic waltz on the show to honor him would
Love to see his grave on one of your videos
Miracle on 34th Street is one my favorite Christmas movies. Edmund Gwenn is the quintessential Santa. It was my pleasure to donate to his memorial fund.
Edmund, since you are currently doing a fundraiser for Edmund Gwenn's Niche. Christmas 2023 would be the perfect opportunity for a new Christmas Edition of Hollywood Graveyard. Loved those two videos a few years back.
That's great. Glad you found him and can place his remains where they can be viewed and visited.
Wonderful and thank you bringing this to national attention ❤❤❤
Blessings and love for all you do to take care of people remains
Added my lil bit to the cause. Thanks to you and Jessica!
I absolutely LOVE these opportunities to bring some of these Hollywood icons out of the darkness in to the light! Thank you Arthur for all the great things you do!!!! Donated!!!
Arthur, if I wanted to watch other people filming your show I would but I love how you do the filming. You're a pro. I watch your show all the time.
A truly wonderful actor R.I.P.💐🌹🌺
This is such great news. Happy to support.
Wonderful cause! Thank you Arthur!
Looks like you are almost there. AWESOME.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
You’re an amazing human!
Thank you Arthur for all you do!! See you tomorrow.. But for now I'm going too watch Miracle on 34th Street to get me in the mood!!!! Merry Christmas..
Yay, Santa is going to a new home ❤❤❤
I like that all of them ❤
Thanks so much to you and Jessica for doing this. 😊🎅🏻
Happy Birthday, Mr. Edmond Gwenn, May you RIP ALWAYS 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this awesome news! I've been waiting for this since the emotional video for Chapel Of The Pines when Edmund was found (had to grab a box of tissues when that moment came). Please Livestream his ceremony of his arrival to Hollywood Forever when it's time since Helen Chandler's ceremony was not livestreamed. It will mean a lot to fans of Miracle On 34th Street like myself and for those that live outside of the US like myself. Cheers! "Now I know there's a Santa Claus!" - Edmund Gwenn in his Oscars speech when he won Best Supporting Actor. Just donated last night.
Awesome! I watch his portrayal of Santa year, it is timeless. Wonderful that you found his urn and are working on a new niche! Thanks!
Very Nice!!
🎩👍
So happy Santa Claus is going to have his final resting place. Thank you!
I am super glad you found him in the vault!!! I will spread the word about the fundraiser. I cannot do anything financially, but this is worth it.
I remember when you found him! This is great! He needs a place to be remembered ! I just donated to the worthy cause!
Arthur doing God’s work.
The moment when Jessica found Edmund Gwenn's urn in the vault was so joyful and moving, definitely one of my favorite Hollywood Graveyard moments ever. It's pleasure to be able to contribute to his finding a beautiful place to rest. ♥
I also loved him in Pride and Prejudice 1940
My favorite SANTA........🧑🎄
The community comes through again!
It's not much, but I'm happy to help provide this gentleman a place to rest.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Done have to go fund me!

Hai și în România 🇹🇩👍💙💛❤😉
Sad that the family don’t do nothing.. lost the urn for 60 years.
👋 OR WE DOWING MORE VIDEOS ☺️
Well done! Proud to contribute to this cause. Thanks for posting this. 🫶🏻
Nice. 🌈😸🍀😎
"Well, I hate to disagree with you, but not only is there such a person, but here I am to prove It." Thank you Arthur and Jessica for working on getting him a home so everyone can see proof.
Great job on finding him and giving dignity
This movie has given me joy every year since my childhood. Wish I could afford to donate more. Thank you for doing this for Edmund, his family, and his fans!
Me too, childhood innocence
Thank you Arthur and Jessica. What a kind and thoughtful act. RIP Edmund.
This is what I love about your channel. You treat everyone with such care and respect.
Miracle on 34th Street has always held a special place in my heart & home. So glad to be able to contribute & help give my favourite Santa an eternal home of his own.
One of the most moving moments in a film filled with them . The discovery of his Urn was truly a magical moment more people should see.
I have played st. Nick for years on behalf of all of you who believe. Thank you for finding ed his last resting place. RIP ed gween.
It was so touching, especially when the young lady realized it was his urn .... a beautiful moment
I was hoping this would happen for Edmund! From what you said in the vault video, he pulled a miracle and he is definitely a beloved Santa who deserves the niche! Thank you again for setting up this fundraiser! Can’t wait to be a part of it for a wonderful person ❤ thank you for your love for history and keeping it alive through your videos!!
He was always endearing character to watch in his performances. Wether it be Santa or a Captain in Alfred Hitchcock’s Movie “ The Trouble with Harry” you couldn’t help but really like the Man he was Lovable. I’m really happy he is to be in Light for all to see and pay our respects to for all he shared with us in Film! Thanks to you Arthur and to Jessica for doing this for him and his Family! The true Miracle is not the Movie he played in but being found again for us all to be able to show we care. Thanks for all you do Arthur! 😉
I'm so glad that you found him Arthur your an amazing person God bless you 🙏
In a world out of order, you bring us together. Nice work.
I am so Happy to hear about the fundraiser! What an amazing community we have. We are all a part of something truly amazing and I will be proud to make a donation! Thank you Arthur and Jessica for your hard work. So Happy for my favorite Santa Claus. 💕
I appreciate your bringing our community together to make a difference. Phenomenal response!
He had the perfect persona for Santa Claus. Such a lovely, warm, friendly face 💖
Thank you very much Arthur, for doing this. 😊
Thank you for allowing us to witness the wonderful work that you and Jessica are doing. I am so very happy to contribute to Edmund’s new home. He has given us great joy through his work, and you’ve allowed us to give back to him! Again, thank you!!
Happy to donate.
Thank you for your efforts, Arthur. 🇦🇺
Thank you for giving Edmund the rest that he finally deserves and can finally rest in peace knowing that fans can now come visit him! Cheers for you!
Thank you so much for finding Edmund Arthur. He deserves to be in a area of respect. I hope the public can come see him.
I remember hearing, a long long time ago, that Mr. Gwenn’s last words were, “Dying is easy, comedy is hard”.
I don’t know if it’s true or my memory fails me. But I thought it a most profound statement. Leaving me with the feeling that there was much more to this man than the world knew.
I don't know if you understand how much your videos mean to some people but I have to give you a long overdue thank you. This particular video made me realize that, through these videos, I can feel as though I am honoring some of my favorite entertainers of all time.
I'll be watching for the re-internment of this Hollywood icon as, due to physical inability, it will be my best chance to personally say thank you to Edmund Gwenn for being such a large part of my childhood.
I was just six months and four days old when he passed but his movies (especially "Miracle on 34th Street" and "Them" [don't ask ]😆) have been favorites since I was old enough to understand what movies were. Thank you again for giving us this wonderful opportunity to honor them with you in remembrance 🤗.
Just donated to the Edmund Gwen fund. It's sad that his urn was lost for so many years but very happy that he will have a final resting place. Thank you Arthur for all your hard work. Your vlogs are amazing!!!!
This movie has a special place in my heart. I'm so glad that our beloved quintessential movie Santa Claus has been found. I just donated to help this fundraiser. Now I hope to see Edmund be given his own eternal home before the holidays.
If you didn’t find him. He would probably have been lost forever.
What a jolly man we love him very much❤
Cheers Arthur, it’s Sean in Atlanta! You, my friend, deserve all the support and thanks the movie loving world can bestow on you! He was a fantastic actor and you are a hero!
Sean
How wonderful thank you for doing this it’s so great to see that the money has been raised so great of everyone who donated and of you for finding him and giving him a proper resting place ❤️🙏🏻☀️
OHHHH I'M SO HAPPY 🎉🎉🎉 *take my money meme* THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!! GOD BLESS YOU, 🙏🙏🙏
It’s incredible you have the opportunity to do this for Edmund, his family, and his fans. I’m looking forward to visiting him at Hollywood Forever once he’s there.
Thanks for founding Edmund I Still enjoy his wonderful beautiful Christmas 🎄 movie ❤
Thank you for the video
I would LOVE to donate but as of this post we (my boyfriend, my Papito and Loki, my 2 Feline's) and myself are living in the car yet again. GREAT job and THANK YOU for ALL that you do Arthur!! 💖🙏
You guys are wonderful! Edmund Gwenn is one of my favorite actors. Love him so much in The Trouble with Harry. Will you be able to film the ceremony when the niche is unveiled?
Yes, The Trouble with Harry. I think Edmund was a little smitten with Shirley MacLaine :)
20th Century Studios, who made and distributed the film, should be made aware of this extraordinary effort. THEY should be contributing too, as the movie has had an enduring effect for their bottom line all these years, the way it’s had an enduring effect for all its fans. Not to take away the holiday spirit of this exceptional endeavor or anything….:) Bravo Arthur and Co. I don’t believe in miracles, but I believe in you!
Well said scottreinirnNYC
I believe Disney now owns the rights to the film, acquired when it bought 20th Century Fox's media assets in 2017 and subsequently renamed the subsidiary as 20th Century Studios. A multi-billion dollar corporation such as Disney should certainly front the entire cost for the niche.
@@robbernathYeah. That!
I just saw that the funds have raised over $17k :) That surpassed the goal of 15k!! Congrats and I'm happy that he'll be able to get his niche interred at Hollywood Forever Cemetery :)
So deserved for Edmund to have a final resting place at Hollywood Forever. I donated right away like I did fir Heken Chandler. I hope he gets it right before Christmas.
Edit: And he did! So happy he got a Niche at Hollywood Forever. Such a perfect and fitting Cemetery for our beloved Sabta Claus from Miracle on 34th Street.
Who indicate that his family agree with your endevor. Two questions. 1- who in his family, and 2- how much did they contribute?
*"Give us more and better options for the size and location of Edmund's niche...." As a salute to not just Edmund Gwenn but to also everyone "near & dear to us" in general (from all walks of life, then & now, Arthur & Jessica, etc), it would be nice if the memorial is in an exceptionally visible location & includes more elaborate displays (stonework, crypt display cases, etc) than it otherwise would. But I don't know how pricing & planning works, so just a wish.*
Just caught Edmund Gwenn in a movie I'd never seen before: "Mister 880" - brilliant !! He deserves every accolade and certainly this final recognition and resting place. Will do what I can -
Thank you for giving the forgotten a place to be remembered ❤ Cheers
Just a suggestion.
I’ve just read his profile on IMDB and as he was a veteran of WW1 and made it to Captain maybe apply for something from the English government to put in the niche too.
Who knows what other legends are lost in a vault keep up the awesome work still love the videos
RIP Edmund 😔✌
Coming all the way from Australia and attending the inurnment on my first day here in America was truly such a memorable day for me. Great job 👏
He so deserves it!
Gwenn was also in one of my favorite movies, "The Meanest Man in the World", playing a man who nowhere near as nice as Kris Kringle.
Amazing that he was found and that the goal was reached. I hope he knows how loved he is.
When my dad was cremated,we put him in an old purse that had been his mother's.
Best Christmas Gift for Edmund 🎅🏻❤️
I seriously hope Edmund Gwenn finds a Niche before the Christmas Season finally arrives!
Bravo HG, bravo.
God bless you Arthur👏🏻
Glad to see this, but holy cow! A niche costs $15k??? My dad's total funeral expenses, including viewing, church service, his drawer in the mausoleum and the memorial supper, ran less than $10k.
Hollywood Forever is expensive. Dr. Amie Harwick’s friends are trying to raise funds for a statue at Hollywood Forever and 3 years on still haven’t raised enough.
SANTA HAS BEEN FOUND!!!! It truly is an Early Christmas Miracle!!!
