Personally, I don't think that upright headstones are "unsightly, depressing stoneyards". I find them to be a testament of the love family members had for that person. I find the older ones a piece of history. Most cemeteries don't allow the upright headstones anymore.

doxierescued, I was a funeral Director/Embalmer and during my years of working for a funeral home in Hollywood,Florida and another in Erlanger,Kentucky I learned that cemeteries without the upright grave markers charge less then those with the upright grave markers when you go to purchase a grave plot. those without the upright markers are much easier to mow then the other ones that need a weed trimmer to cut around the upright markers..

I knew because of a song that John Denver used to sing about wanting to be "laid down" in Forest Lawn.

Both my grandparents and sadly my father has joined them in Forest Lawn. It is a very beautiful peaceful place.

KookyOrangutan5005, So many famous people are buried there, including Walt Disney, that it's globally well- known.

I think all cemeteries are beautiful.

Fly by toward downtown on the Golden State Freeway and it is on the right, imposing, reverential. Expensive. Movie stars can afford it.

doxierescued, Personally,,,I agree with you,,,I and my family love to visit old cemeteries, it’s looking back at history but afraid it is a thing of the past cuz almost all people will be cremated and put in a box or urn and scattered in the wind. In the future etc,

My grandparents are there! So is my grand fathers second wife!,

there is a cemetery in a little community that is kept up by the people in the community and by relatives of those who grew up there. people take turns mowing it and once a year everyone gets together and does any major work that may need to be done they stop for a picnic lunch and then finish. the cemetery is still used today. we have upright grave stones and people come and do rubbings of relatives going way back to I think the 1800's

My hometown has a World-renowed grave place: CrownHill. As a child I spent hours there reading & enjoying the peace. it's expensive also.

WaldoLydeker, U know what I'm talkin' bout!

VickiMG, Like I said you're gonna pay a pretty-penny so the Stars & famous can.

Player #12741763

For a very expensive hole in the ground, might I add, but I'm worth it.

Vina Vandervierf, As for me, & I believe, majority of people, written sentiments & tokens of love want to be viewed, not just for surviving generation of offspring &/or loved ones but for future generations as well. Despite beauty of such Memorial Parks, wherein focus is on landscaping & ambience, a cemetary is about rememberence; the lasting memory
