Description

Photograph of a view of Forest Lawn cemetery grounds, showing a sepulchral monument in the background, November 1929. At left, a tall pavillion is pictured at the swell of a grassy hill, while filling the rest of the image, flat headstones and small trees are implanted in the ground. In the far distance, a tall monumental tower can be seen indistinctly behond a plant-covered hill.
