"The holidays are always difficult for those who are grieving,” said Galen Goben, Forest Lawn’s Grief Support Coordinator, “and our Candle Lighting Memorial Service offers a way for families to honor the loss of a loved one instead of trying to ignore the pain. It is a powerful way to cope with grief."

Each of the Candle Lighting Memorial Services will take place from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and will feature holiday songs, inspirational messages, and candle lighting in memory of a family member or friend.  Refreshments will be served following the services.  The services are open to all community members at no charge.  Reservations are requested and can be made online at www.forestlawn.com
