There’s a reason we’re the leader

We’re Forest Lawn. Since 1906, more families have chosen to come to us for their funeral and cremation needs than any other provider in Southern California. The reason is simple. We provide a more personal type of attention, a more professional level of service, and a wider range of price options. Drop by at any time and we’d be happy to show you how a little bit of planning can make a big difference.
