Frequently asked questions, answered.

Contact us at (760) 328-3140. Our staff is available to receive your call 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week. We will make arrangements to bring your loved one to Forest Lawn immediately. You may also want to give our number to your loved one’s caretakers so that they can contact us at the time of your loved one’s passing.

Our staff will also set a time for you to meet with one of our Memorial Counselors to make arrangements. Please note that no arrangements are required in advance. We provide you with the option of making arrangements in advance or after death occurs.

Forest Lawn can make arrangements to ship your loved one anywhere in the United States, as well as to most other countries.

For an international transfer out, your Memorial Counselor and our experienced staff will make all of the necessary arrangements for transfer. We will process all of the necessary documentation required by the Consulate of your specific country.

The cost of shipping will vary depending on the destination, Consulate, and airline requirements. Please contact us at (760) 328-3140 for further information on your specific shipping needs.

If you will not be having any memorial services in another state, Forest Lawn can simplify the process for you by making all of the transportation arrangements for the transfer of your loved one from another state to Forest Lawn for funeral services and burial.

You only need to make all of your arrangements with Forest Lawn, not a second party or another mortuary. Simply contact us at (760) 328-3140, and we will arrange to have your loved one transferred to Forest Lawn for burial. We will arrange for you to meet with one of our Memorial Counselors either by phone or in-person to make the arrangements.

If you will be having church or memorial services outside of California in your state, you will need to contact a local funeral home to provide you with the mortuary services that you will need. Your funeral home will then make arrangements to ship your loved one to Forest Lawn.

Please refer to the contact us page. We will send you a package of the information you request.

You may also contact us any time at (760) 328-3140.
