Forest Lawn Cemetery

Forest Lawn is one of America's premier historic cemeteries. One of the first intentionally designed and professionally landscaped rural cemeteries in the United States, its first interment took place in 1850. The Forest lawn is nearly 20 years old and stretches over 269 acres. Today, there are more than 161,000 permanent residents in this not-for-profit cemetery, where all are welcome. What makes it a unique cemetery is the unmatched natural beauty – hills, valleys, lakes, and streams. It is complemented by its sculptural masterpieces, indeed a living history.
