  • Might seem odd to take out of town family to a cemetary. However, Forest Lawn is unlike others. There are amazing mosaic tile murals showing events like Washington crossing the Delaware. Grounds and gardens are beautiful. Do a little research and see the many stars buried here. If you wish, visit their burial site and pay your respects.
  • Sadly we had to have the service for a loved one that passed away.The chapel was clean and the staff was compassionate. Of course because of the location you do pay more. Take that into consideration if you are looking into this location. There were graves of a WW2 vets ,and of celebrities.
