Notes from The Company
Our original Forest Lawn location has been a Southern California landmark since 1906. It has a world-renowned art museum, extraordinary statuary, and the Hall of the Crucifixion-Resurrection. This is home to two of the largest religious paintings in the Western hemisphere.
Forest Lawn is truly more than a cemetery. It’s a special place where people visit again and again. A place where friends might take a walk or where one may read a book under a tree. See many properties including Covina.
