Forest Lawn’s own grounds crew. We deliver the finished bronze tablet to the park, and their team sets it on its foundation, flush with the lawn. The placement fee covers this installation.

Bronze tablets take 8–10 weeks to cast and finish after you approve the design. Once the tablet reaches the park, Forest Lawn places tablets in the order they arrive, typically within 1–2 weeks.
Can I add an inscription to an existing memorial at Forest Lawn Cypress?
Yes. At Forest Lawn Cypress a second name is added with a bronze panel attached to the existing tablet. We cast the panel to match your tablet, and Forest Lawn attaches it at the park.

A North Orange County Landmark
The third Forest Lawn memorial park, opened in 1958 in Cypress.
The best-known landmark at Forest Lawn Cypress is the Church of Our Fathers, a faithful re-creation of St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia. In the original church, on March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry told the Second Virginia Convention, “Give me liberty or give me death!” The domed Heritage Mausoleum stands nearby, and a mortuary, chapel and flower shop share the site.
