Great Park cemetery plans fade after 2010 settlement
Forest Lawn sued Lennar and Five Point Communities over an exclusive deal to buy and run a cemetery at the Great Park, starting in 1996 and evolving through 2003. The dispute centered on a 73 acre parcel nicknamed the Flying Egg, in the park’s northeast, with later talks failing to progress. The case settled out of court in 2010 for an undisclosed amount, leaving the cemetery idea unresolved.
