Forest Lawn Glendale - Selling Cemetery Plots

The towering wrought iron gates that stand at the entrance of Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuary in Glendale, California, give but a hint of the beauty and serenity of the grounds within. Established in 1906, this cemetery is known for its celebrated collection of art and its impressive buildings and gardens. Forest Lawn Memorial is also of important historical significance in American culture, as it is the final resting place of such great names as Clark Gable, Sammy Davis, Jr., Errol Flynn and many other actors and actresses, as well as entrepreneurs and artists.
The meticulously landscaped 300 acres that comprise Forest Lawn Memorial Park are scattered with beautiful bronze and marble statuary including reproductions of Michelangelo's David, Moses and LaPieta. A rendering of DaVinci's Last Supper is recreated in stained glass and garden features such as the Labyrinth, reproduced from the Cathedral in Chartres, France, call to mind the exquisite detail of the European masters.
Many memorial chapels dot the landscape of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, including the Little Church of the Flowers, dedicated in 1918 and inspired by the English church where poet Thomas Gray wrote Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. Other chapels include the stunning Church of the Recessional and the Hall of the Crucifixion/Resurrection, which houses the larger than life paintings of Polish artist Jan Styka. The charming Wee Kirk o' the Heather is a faithful reproduction of the village church in Glencairn, Scotland, and provides a lovely setting for reflection. These structures are also often utilized for weddings - President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, were married at Forest Lawn - as well as for christenings.
Situated in the heart of Los Angeles County, in close proximity to Interstate 5, Forest Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuary offers masterpieces of art and architecture and places for quiet reflection at every turn. Built on founder Dr. Hubert Eaton's theory of a joyous life after death, this cemetery provides a beautiful setting for final interment and celebrates the immortality of art, nature, and the human spirit.
