I have loved ones buried here and while they try to keep things in order with mowing and edging, it is pretty sad to see some of the toppled stones, especially in the older areas, victims of time and vandalism. There is a mausoleum with the door windows broken out and large insect nests growing on the ceiling -- maybe it can be boarded up as there are large chunks of broken sharp glass still in the framework. I like the fact that the place is a very peaceful one, but dogs should be kept on leashes and not allowed to do their business, at large, around the burial plots or run up to people who are trying to find a grave. I have a balance problem and a few weeks ago a large Lab mix ran up to me and I nearly fell -- the doggo was a good distance away from his humans and running loose around the East Lawn/Seamans' Friend Society plot before he was called back. Not only would this be safer for human visitors, but I have also seen foxes and at least one raccoon patrolling the more wooded areas. Don't get me wrong, I like dogs but I don't want to see anyone, human, canine or wildlife get hurt.nn.
I have been visiting Forest Lawn for many years as we have a family plot there. It has always been nicely kept and well manicured. I went yesterday and was incredibly disappointed. The grass was overgrown, branches were laying everywhere, trash was on ground around trash cans and beds were overgrown. This could be due to COVID and being short staffed or new management but I truly hope this is fixed soon. It is sad enough to go there without being depressed about how bad it looks.
First cemetery I have been to that had an office on-site and bathrooms. Bathrooms were clean and stocked with toilet paper, soap, and paper towels. I went to Forest Lawn for a funeral recently. Grounds were very clean and well kept. Greenery is pretty here. Plenty of parking since the cemetery is so big.
Pretty decent. $20 parking fee. gift shop is ok
Visiting Forest Lawn Cemetery really made me feel alive! Beautiful Norfolk views but the social scene is dead. Great place for kick the bucket, hide n' seek and dirt naps. Conveniently located right off Granby, but once you're in there it's a dead end.
