Forest Lawn - Covina Hills

The Llewellyn family is the template by which all cemetery owners should be measured. Forest Lawn locations are pristine. The numbers before statues and other art are references to Forest Lawn's Art Guide. The verbiage is from the Art Guide's description of the item. Sadly, many numbers are not in the Art Guide and no information is available about those pieces of art. The highest number I've found on a statue is #1705; the highest number in an Art Guide is 1125.
