So beautiful, peaceful and serene. The artwork, statues and views are amazing. a GORGEOUS oasis in the city!
My girlfriend and I went up to the museum to see Vroom showcase. There were many older and newer motorcycles on display along with works of art. It was short but very pleasing. I learned a lot in a very short time.
Yes this is the oldest Forest lawn Memorial properties but they are more than just a final resting place for your love ones.There museum here is awesome. The curator here has brought some very impressive art exhibitions to Glendale.Current show has rock and roll photography and original album covers by the artist on display.And the admission price is always FREE.Open on weekends and kid and senior friendly too.
Our GPS kept leading us past this place at night. We couldn't really tell what it was but we suspected it might be a cemetery based solely on the name. We drove by another day before it was dark and realized we were correct. I was surprised at how beautiful the area was. There was a lot of attention to detail, art sculptures, paintings, and the landscaping was as close to perfect as you can get...especially considering that it's a cemetery! It is definitely in a beautiful location and would have been added to our list of places to visit if we had known more about it ahead of time.
Cool sculptures on the grounds, interesting museums with trendy and traditional artwork. Don't miss the Last Supper stained glass exhibit and audio.
We only had an hour here, but it was much more than we expected. The designer, builder, was responsible for changing cemeteries with tomb stones into lawn covered parks. and small plaques. Lots of good reproductions of Renaissance Italian art and buildings.Allow 2 or three hours to reflect and explore.
Visited on 11/14/14 and they has a wedding, a quinceañera and the museum is hosting the most amazing antique motorcycle exhibit I've seen. You must see the trilogy! Last supper, resurrection and crucifixion paintings. This place is amazing and very welcoming. If you like art and marble sculptures, visit this place. How can you beat free museum and art.
Our family has many memories of Forest Lawn. It is where my parents took us to learn to drive before they would turn us loose on the streets. We would stop and feed the ducks, enjoy the Last Supper Window, The museum and Crucifiction painting presentation. Then visit our loved ones who had passed on to heaven. They have a gift and flower shop that is always a pleasure to enter it smells so delicious.I have arranged two funerals with their help. Both were handled beautifully with no regrets and no issues, I am very grateful for their help with keeping everything simple and dignified. I know that I have a place here and know that I too will have dignified ceremony that will leave my children with fond memories of me, and not of the hassle during that sorrowful time of saying their farewells.How fortunate we are that we have such a beautiful place such as Forest Lawn.
I recently held my mother's funeral at the red church at Forest Lawn and had around 120 family and friends in attendance. My mother had purchased a plot there 10 years prior--just steps away from that red church. From the moment I met with the employees of the Mortuary who planned and executed the funeral, I was impressed with their care, professionalism, attention to detail and everything else--especially since the family was in mourning. I was so impressed with the grounds, the view and the staff, that I purchased another plot for my father last week!
Impressive history and well maintained. Beautiful grounds. Ron gave us the ride-a-long tour. No pressure, informational, compassionate. Appreciated this very much. I could feel very good about a loved one being interned here.
