Forest Lawn’s Cypress cemetery was alive Sunday with memories of loved ones and the celebration of ancestors.
Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks hosted Dia del los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, celebrations at several of its Southern California locations; in Cypress families enjoyed performances, arts and crafts, face painting and other activities. The cemeteries were decorated with six-foot-tall Catrina sculptures, vibrant calaveras, ofrendas and more.
