Forest Lawn Memorial Park

Forest Lawn has over 100 years of trusted service in all cemetery, funeral and cremation needs. We set the highest standards for funeral, cremation, and cemetery services at some of the lowest prices. We're dedicated to serving families of all faiths, cultures, and languages. We provide all-in-one convenience with churches, chapels, visitation rooms, reception rooms, cemetery properties, crematories and flower shops all in one place.

Your family will feel confident they are honoring your final wishes. It may reduce disagreements among family and make services more personal to you. Products and services selected at pre-planning will be guaranteed at the time of your passing, taking care of most funeral expenses. Planning helps reduce stress during an already emotional time and allows important decisions to be given proper consideration when you're thinking clearly.

Depending on your budget, we provide different types of packages. Some packages might include graveside service, casket, service at church or chapel, embalming, visitation, memory folders, floral tribute, care and preparation, transportation, cemetery services like burial, and a personalized tablet.

We have six different cemetery locations with distinct personalities—beautiful churches, patriotic courtyards, gardens, and vistas. We have seven mausoleums with beautiful statuaries and stained glass. We offer a wide variety of cremation properties: indoor or outdoor, wall or in-ground, granite or glass-front niches, as well as outdoor gardens with rock niches and tree bases.

Forest Lawn has over 100 years of trusted service in all cemetery, funeral and cremation needs. When your loved one is in our care, they are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. We have the all-in-one convenience of churches, chapels, visitation rooms, reception rooms, cemetery properties, crematories and flower shops all in one place. We have exceptional facilities to hold funeral or memorial services, and our cemeteries offer world-class properties to create a legacy for your families for years to come.

By meeting in person with one of our caring and knowledgeable Memorial Counselors, we are better able to provide exemplary service and accurately complete documents plus review options of available products and services. If you reside in another state and are unable to come to one of our 9 mortuary locations in Los Angeles, Orange or Riverside Counties, we can schedule a phone arrangement with you.

The arrangement meeting usually takes around 2.5 hours in order to properly give appropriate time to you and your family, and fully discuss final wishes. During the meeting, we will gather vital information and learn about the life of your loved one, including the life they shared with family and friends.

You will be able to choose everything needed to create a lasting memorial for your loved one. This begins with deciding between cremation or traditional burial, as well as other decisions such as flowers, music, caskets, urns and the final resting place. You will be able to select flowers from our expert designers and take care of scheduling the services, visitation or prayer service.

When you arrive, you will be greeted by our Guest Services representatives and offered light refreshments. They will guide you to your arrangement room, where you will meet your Memorial Counselor. The Memorial Counselor will arrange all of the details with you in order to create an appropriate remembrance for your loved one.

The Forest Lawn mortuary is where your loved one is first brought to our care prior to the funeral or memorial services and final placement in the cemetery. Mortuary services include bringing your loved one into our care, preparations like embalming, dressing and casketing, accompanying each decedent to scheduled services, and supervising the final placement in the cemetery. Cemetery services include opening the burial space, placing the casket or urn into a vault, crypt or niche, recording the burial, and placing a meaningful tablet.

Forest Lawn offers many different ways to pay a memorable tribute to your loved one. Our parks all contain beautiful chapels, as well as spacious reception rooms for a gathering of family and friends. You can choose from one of the clergy that we work with, your own, or choose one of our specially trained celebrants who works with your family to create a unique eulogy for the service.

Whether you are choosing a permanent resting place in one of our parks with sweeping vistas and natural beauty, or you choose a location inside one of our mausoleums, Forest Lawn has a variety of options for you. Each of our six memorial parks offers cemetery property options such as private or semi-private gardens, wall crypts or distinguished memorials.
