Traditional Burial
We have carefully designed our offerings allowing you to enhance and personalize traditional burial. This opportunity ensures you and your family say goodbye and celebrate your loved one’s life in a way that reflects their unique journey and legacy.
1. Services
Our traditional service offerings in the Coachella Valley include: Funeral, Memorial, and Graveside Services, along with Visitations. Each option can be personalized to honor your loved one in a way that reflects their life and provides comfort to your family.
Funeral
Our funeral services are held in our spacious and beautiful chapels to honor and remember a loved one who has passed away. We accommodate eulogies, prayers, music, and rituals that reflect your family’s beliefs, values, and traditions. The service can be religious, secular, or celebrant-led, depending on your preference.
Memorial
A Forest Lawn memorial service is a ceremony held to honor and remember a loved one who has passed away, typically without their body present. It can take place at any time after the passing, offering flexibility for our client families to plan a meaningful tribute. Memorial services can be religious, secular, or celebrant-led, depending on your preferences.
Graveside
A graveside service at Forest Lawn is a ceremony held at the burial site, where family and friends gather to say a final farewell before the casket is placed in its final resting place. This service can be a standalone event or follow a traditional funeral or memorial service.
Visitations
Our spacious and beautifully designed visitation rooms provide a comfortable and welcoming space for families to gather. Families can choose if their loved one’s body will be present. Visitations offer a time for reflection, connection, and support, allowing families to focus on fellowship rather than formal ceremony. For many who choose Forest Lawn, this meaningful gathering serves as an important step in the healing process.
Meaningful Memorials
Forest Lawn Memorial Services are a way to provide comfort and closure by gathering the family and friends to express their grief, find support and begin the healing process.
The flexibility of being able to schedule a memorial service weeks or months after passing, provides time for distant loved ones to travel and participate.
At Forest Lawn we allow you to uniquely design your Memorial Service incorporating favorite songs, photos, videos or special rituals.
