The park's sheer size is overwhelming, a seemingly endless vista of rolling green hills; over 300 acres dotted with white sculptures and quaint English chapels.
The park's aversion to loyal fans who wish to visit the final resting place of their favorite star is particularly surprising coming from a cemetery that is often the butt of jokes for its own flamboyant style.
And while their intentions may be noble, in my opinion, Forest Lawn's "no-tell" policy is a true disservice to the memory of the celebrities buried here.

Just in time for Christmas, the museum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale is displaying fragments of the Virgin Mary’s veil, St. Joseph’s cloak and the manger where the baby Jesus was laid.
Some visitors to Forest Lawn may be offended by displays purporting to be relics of the Passion: a fragment of the Crown of Thorns, a chip from the column at which Christ was flogged, a splinter from the cross on which He was crucified.
But Forest Lawn addresses the issue head-on in its explanatory card for the reliquary holding a piece of the True Cross.
