A Beautiful Setting, Today and Always

With 349 acres of rolling hills, native trees, a bird sanctuary, arboretum and historic statuary, Forest Lawn Cemetery is recognized as one of most beautiful cemeteries in the country. And for more than 140 years, Forest Lawn has been a special place for area families.

Here, you will find the ideal setting for your loved one or yourself beneath mature shade trees, near gardens or special monuments. Reserve a section of the cemetery that allows family members to be together. Consider creating a private family estate that offers an additional degree of intimacy, while reflecting the uniqueness of your family.
