22.01.2022 Sometimes we all just need a little hope.

22.01.2022 Lest we forget we will remember them

22.01.2022 Weeds currently impact some areas of our Park. We have engaged an external contractor to help address this. The herbicide used is eco-friendly, and contact is not considered harmful to one's health. However, it is recommended that hands are thoroughly washed after visiting the Park. Work is due to be carried out using a spray cart on Friday, 9th October. Please note that this date is open to change and dependent on the weather and the contractor's work schedule. Management of Forest Lawn Memorial Park apologises for any inconvenience that this work may cause and appreciates your understanding.

22.01.2022 Due to the amount of rainfall received and forecasted weather for the coming days, areas of our Park now require remediation work, with the lawn burial sections needing the most attention. The Grounds team focus on this as a priority as soon as the weather permits and the grounds are dry enough. Carrying out work at this time and while the grounds are wet will cause further damage to the Park. We appreciate your understanding during this significant weather event. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our office if you have any questions. http://ow.ly/prAo50E4ddU
