Ethan Chen, the Business Manager for the Chinese Division at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, shared insights about the park’s longstanding role as a landmark in the Los Angeles area, thanks to its rich history and beautiful surroundings. Since its inception, Forest Lawn has been dedicated to providing thoughtful post-life services to the community while achieving remarkable success in pre-planning services.
As awareness grows about the benefits of pre-planning, more families are opting to arrange their affairs ahead of time. This proactive approach alleviates stress, ensuring better security for themselves and their loved ones when facing the end of life.
The pre-planning services at Forest Lawn help individuals organize their end-of-life arrangements while they still have the time and clarity to do so. It mitigates the pressure of sudden decision-making often required after the loss of a loved one. Chen emphasized that many families, already dealing with emotional distress, find themselves needing to make complicated decisions quickly, which can intensify their grief and lead to regrets born out of haste. Pre-planning allows family members the emotional space to come to terms with their loss and follow through with arrangements that have already been established, without additional burdens.
Forest Lawn offers a variety of options beyond traditional burial sites, including funeral services, memorial service planning, and commemorative artwork, catering to the diverse needs of families.
During the Silver Haired Activity event in the afternoon, Ethan Chen will provide a detailed explanation of the advantages of pre-planning.
