Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens is a member of the Dignity Memorial family network of cemetery and funeral service providers. Also known as Forest Lawn Memorial Park, the property was founded in the late 1920s, with grounds that cover roughly 100 acres. Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens offers a variety of choices and options to family members when it comes to burial and interment, with choices of one of several garden mausoleums, private mausoleum entombment, private estates as well as cremation estates. The property is lush, green and beautiful. Family bench estates are private and surrounded by groves of trees. The mausoleum buildings offer privacy and a sense of solitude, sheltered among the ever-changing colors of native trees scattered throughout the property and surrounded by beautiful landscaping arrangements. The wide, sprawling acreage is covered with well-kept lawns, and trees provide vibrant bursts of color during spring and fall seasons. The Forest Lawn Chapel is beautiful and traditional, offering rich wood focal points and a beautiful stained-glass window. Additional focal points of the cemetery property include Freedom Square, found in Veteran Garden. The square serves and honors members of all military branches and provides an area for quiet reflection and memorialization of our veterans. The cemetery property also offers a beautiful pond surrounded by deciduous trees on one side and the Garden mausoleum building on the other. From the moment visitors enter under the front entrance of the cemetery property, they are immediately immersed within an exquisitely beautiful property that is well groomed and maintained. The immense property offers massive acreage of gently rolling slopes and lawns, tree-lined paths and easy access to all. Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens is located east of downtown Columbus between Gahanna and Reynoldsburg just off of Interstate 270. Visitors exit the interstate to the east on E. Broad Street, with the cemetery property easily visible from the interstate and off ramps, and surrounded by rural community, beautiful parks and the large Columbus Country Club. |
