Stories of life. Stories of love.

At Forest Lawn, you decide how to tell your life story. Whether sculpted in marble or carved in granite, cast in bronze or reflected in a garden, there are countless ways to be remembered.

In fact, for more than eight generations, this not-for-profit, non-denominational cemetery has served as the final resting place for more than 155,000 great citizens – from a U.S. President and foreign royalty, to local veterans and teachers.

Today, there is quite a lot of space still available (more than 20 acres, in fact) among the stone bridges, flowing creek and gentle hills of Forest Lawn. You’ll even find some of the most beautiful and least expensive cremation and burial options in all of Western New York, right here.

So come tell your story, only at Forest Lawn.

Forest Lawn sustained more than $1.2 million in damage as a result of the surprise October 2006 storm.
