Forest Lawn’s Lively Cemetery Business in California
Glendale’s Forest Lawn memorial park, a 300 acre complex drawing 1.5 million visitors yearly, is a bustling industry with 800 employees and a $55 million value. Founder Dr. Hubert Eaton built a garden oasis hosting weddings and services, statues, stained glass, and even a “Garden of Life” with gold keys for survivors. The site houses famous interments from film and music, and claims to offer christenings and life insurance alongside lectures and tours.
