Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated February 6, 1963 partially reads, "Believe it or not, 1.5 million California tourists include a cemetery on their itineraries each year. It's true, reports the All Year Club of Southern California, that Forest Lawn Memorial-Park in Glendale ranks along Disneyland as one of the most popular tourist attractions around. It would be wrong to attribute this popularity to bizarre Southland taste. For Forest Lawn is not just a cemetery in the classic sense. Rather, it is a temple of art - a collection of moments sacred to every Christian, and possibly the finest assortment of American memorabilia outside Philadelphia or Washington." Visitors to Forest Lawn view stained glass depiction of Christ's Last Supper.; See images #00118186 through #00118190 for all photos in this series.
