    Coronavirus Update

    April 1st, 2020

    To remain in full compliance with state and federal mandates regarding social distancing we have significantly reduced the on-site staffing at all of our cemeteries.  Given these reductions, the following changes are in place until further notice: 

    • As directed by government, the cemetery offices are open to the public for essential services only, including at-need and pre-need burial and cremation arrangements. Please call (716) 885-1600 to schedule an appointment.
    • You can find the burial location of a loved one on our website using the “Locate a Loved One” tool.
    • At Forest Lawn, our public restrooms are closed due to our limited staff being fully deployed for burials, and unable to clean and disinfect the restrooms in a timely fashion.
    • Due to limited staff being fully deployed to maintain essential services of burials and cremations, we may be unable to cut and maintain the grass to the same standards you’ve come to expect from us.
    • As monument dealers are closed by government order, markers, monuments and mausoleum inscriptions are delayed.
    • Forest Lawn's Delaware & Delavan Ave gate close daily at 5:00pm. Our two Main St. gates close daily at 4:00pm.

    While we recognize the value that the peace and serenity of our grounds can provide during these particularly challenging times, the safety of our employees and visitors are of utmost importance.  So it's essential that all visitors abide by the following rules while on the grounds of all our cemeteries:  

    To protect the health & safety of all visitors, be sure to abide by government mandated social distancing protocols of a minimum of 6 ft of space between individuals. 

    Remember that the following activities are prohibited on the grounds of Forest Lawn:

    • NO PETS
    • NO BICYCLES
    • NO SKATEBOARDS
    • NO CLIMBING (on Monuments)
    • NO SCOOTERS
    • NO IN-LINE SKATES. 

    We will get through this...together!  Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.
