Forest Lawn

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 having churches, chapels, visitation rooms, reception rooms, cemetery properties, crematories and flower shops in one place. We have exceptional facilities for funeral or memorial services, and our cemeteries offer world-class properties.

By meeting in person with one of our caring and knowledgeable Memorial Counselors, we are better able to provide exemplary service. We can guide you in accurately completing the documents and 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, 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.

You will be able to choose everything you need to create a lasting memorial, including deciding between cremation or traditional burial, flowers, music, caskets, urns and the final resting place. You will select flowers, schedule services, and review legal paperwork.

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 who will arrange all of the details with you.

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, recording the burial, and placing a tablet to mark the earth.

Forest Lawn offers many different ways to pay a memorable tribute to your loved one. Our parks contain beautiful chapels, as well as spacious reception rooms for family and friends. You can choose from clergy that we work with, your own, or one of our specially trained celebrants. If you choose to have a service at your own place of worship, we can still help arrange all the details needed.

Whether you are choosing a permanent resting place in one of our parks with sweeping vistas and natural beauty, or a location inside one of our mausoleums, Forest Lawn has a variety of options including private or semi-private gardens, wall crypts or distinguished memorials.

We offer a full assortment of funeral and cremation products and services. We have four convenient funeral packages and two cremation packages. Each package includes the most frequently purchased items, including a casket or urn with a generous casket discount.

Yes, we can. If you would prefer to have your funeral and/or visitation services in your own place of worship, we can help coordinate the transportation of your loved one to the facility, set up the floral arrangements, and escort your loved one back to our mortuary at the conclusion of services.
