Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale)
The Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale in the US state of California is one of six cemeteries of the American company "Forest Lawn Memorial Parks & Mortuaries". It is the first in a series of later Forest Lawn Memorial Parks in the United States and Canada .
history
Forest Lawn was founded as a not-for-profit cemetery in 1906 by several San Francisco businessmen. Hubert L. Eaton and CB Sims acquired the cemetery in 1912. Eaton took over the business of the cemetery in 1917 and is considered to be the founder of today's Memorial Park. Eaton believed in a happy life after death. He thought most cemeteries were ugly and depressing rock gardens and wanted to found a resting place that reflected his optimistic thoughts about death.
Chapels
There are three chapels in Glendale : The Little Church of the Flowers , The Wee Kirk o 'the Heather , and The Church of the Recessional , all of which are exact replicas of European chapels. More than 60,000 people have now been married in Forest Lawn, including Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman .
Grave sites of celebrities
A number of well-known personalities from show business can be found among those buried in Glendale. Some of the final resting places are in closed gardens without public access, such as the graves of Walt Disney , Michael Jackson , Humphrey Bogart , Lon Chaney senior , Errol Flynn , Max Steiner , Mary Pickford or Elizabeth Taylor .
