Author Description

Excerpt from Cypress Lawn Cemetery: Containing a Brief Description and Illustrations of a Spot Specially Designed by Nature for the Purpose to Which It Is Devoted Adjoining the chapel is the Receiving V'a'ult where remains may be placed pending the selection ofa final resting place. Provision for permanent overground vault burial can be made by the purchase, outright, of crypts in our. Mausoleum. Nature and the art of the landscape gardener have combined to make of Cypress Lawn a well-kept memorial park, at once a delight to the eye and a source of repose to mind and heart. Designed upon the modern lawn plan, its velvety green lawns, smooth and immaculate, dotted with graceful trees and owering, ornamental shrubs, stretch in broad reaches on every side, unmarred by fence or coping. The perpetual care of every lot and grave and the preservation and maintenance of buildings, ornamental grounds and roadways are assured by the income derived from the investment of a certain proportion of proceeds received from sale of lots, graves and niches in Mausoleum. This vital feature removes forever the possibility of negligence, absence or forgetfulness of lot owners, and renders permanent the beauty of the whole Cemetery. The Perpetual Care Fund is invested in accordance with the provisions of Section 616 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and is under the control and supervision of the Board of Trustees. This Fund, on December 1, 1915, amounted to and is constantly increasing in proportion to the sale of lots, etc. All arrangements for the purchase of lots and single graves, openings in lots and disinterments, and grave-boxes, must be made directly at the Cemetery or City Office. A copy of the rules and regulations pertaining to all matters connected with the Cemetery will be mailed upon request.
