Since its founding in 1906, Forest Lawn has been an integral part of the community it serves. Our Founded, Dr. Hubert Eaton profoundly changed the funeral business by transforming Forest Lawn Memorial Park into a place for the living. By combining the mortuary and cemetery sides of the business, Eaton achieved his goal, making Forest Lawn a beautiful setting for services, weddings, baptisms and family excursions. After 100 years of service, Forest Lawn Memorial Parks remain a place for the living and a true community resource.
Community outreach and involvement have been part of Forest Lawn’s commitment since the organization’s beginning. From the first Decoration (or Memorial) Day in 1915 and first Easter Sunrise Service in 1921, Forest Lawn brought its spirit of celebrating the living and honoring the past to its communities. Our annual candle-lighting ceremonies help people remember and honor their lost loved ones. Throughout its community involvement, Forest Lawn has celebrated life and its meaningful memories.
Our locations in the Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties service all faiths, and cultures, and offer a wide range of celebrations and special events. We are proud to offer competitively prices cremation and traditional funeral services throughout Southern California.
