Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation

Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation Recognizing the significance of art and of the people for whom these works of art exist.

Cypress Lawn Memorial Park was established in 1892 by a group of civic-minded men led by Hamden Holmes Noble to provide a decent cemetery for all creeds and races as well as "an attractive and pleasing place for meditation of the living." Over a hundred years later, Cypress Lawn stands as a testament to the vision of these men when they proclaimed, "...in the fullness of time, the cemetery ... wil

l form an extensive park, rich in foliage, flowers, mausoleums, statuaries and other works of art ... a handsome gift to posterity."
