This place is amazing, the cemetery is kept in pristine condition the chapels here are beautiful and the mausoleum in beyond words, I am still in aw of the beauty of Forest Lawn. Having recently lost my grandmother, I was faced with the task of making arrangements for her services. I had gone to All Soul which is across the street from Forest Lawn which is just another plain looking cemetery. In speaking with the representative at All Souls she informed us that the cemetery is owned by the Diocese of Los Angeles and the mortuary is owned by a corporation from Louisiana, which would answer the question why they are more expensive than Forest Lawn. Much to my believe I could not comprehend how Forest Lawn was in a league of their own as All Souls could not come even close to the beauty of the place and yet Forest Lawn was still less expensive. The staff at Forest Lawn treated up exceptional and for that I will be ever greatful. Save some time as I have done some of the leg work for those needing to find a place for their loved ones. Forest Lawn you can't go wrong, guess that would explain why they have been in business over 100 years.
