Michael Jackson's Grave @ Forest Lawn

Forest Lawn Memorial Park is one of my favorite treasures in LA. It's one of the few places this much open land exists with trees this old and architecture that makes one wonder.

It's a memorial park where death is celebrated as much as life through art and beautiful views. The Creator, Dr. Hubert Eaton, had a vision to make death less morose by surrounding it with renaissance art. Here, you'll find an exact replica of the Statue of David, La Pieta, and the largest framed painting in the world: Jan Styka's "The Cruxifixction".

A part from the art, many celebrities have made Forest Lawn their final resting home. Some include Walk Disney, Humphrey Bogart, Elizabeth Taylor and the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson.

Every year on June 25, 2009, Forest Lawn Glendale's Holly Terrace blooms with flower arrangements from all over the world for Michael Jackson. "From Russia, with love!" "Japan loves you Michael!" &"Hearts from Iran!" Through it all, the love for Michael Jackson is real y'all. Michael Jackson left a legacy that resonates with the star in all our hearts.
