For many families, the decision of how and where to rest is deeply personal — and at Forest Lawn, there’s no “one-size-fits-all.” With six distinct Memorial Parks across Southern California, Forest Lawn offers an extraordinary range of memorial property types to honor every life and every family’s unique wishes.

Whether you prefer traditional burial or cremation, Forest Lawn provides a thoughtful selection of settings to consider. In-ground spaces are available for single or double interments — perfect for those who value tradition and the timeless comfort of a garden burial. For above-ground choices, there are beautiful crypts nestled in mausoleums or lawn-level crypts in garden settings, offering dignity and serenity in every season.

For families opting for cremation, niches — both indoor and outdoor — provide a peaceful, respectful place for urns, whether in a columbarium or garden wall. Gardens, too, are an option: quiet, contemplative outdoor spaces, some private or semi-private, that invite reflection in nature’s softness.

Then there are the more distinguished properties: private memorials, exclusive sarcophagi, gated gardens, and spaces with special architectural or sculptural features. These “distinguished memorials” offer families a unique legacy — a place that feels like a personal monument, not just a burial plot.

Among the newest offerings are the Courts of Remembrance at Hollywood Hills, the Gardens of Contemplation in Glendale, and the Gardens of Christian Heritage at Covina Hills. As Forest Lawn looks ahead, even more properties are planned — including new sections in our Cathedral City location.

Pre-planning to secure cemetery property is more than a practical decision — it’s a thoughtful gift to your family. It relieves them of uncertainty during difficult times, locks in availability, and provides peace of mind. Forest Lawn is backed by a robust endowment care fund to safeguard these memorial grounds for generations to come.

In a world filled with choices, Forest Lawn offers more than just property — it offers peace, dignity, and the chance to create a lasting place of memory that truly fits your family’s values and vision.
