About

Forest Lawn Funeral Home and Forest Lawn Cemetery care for families in West Seattle, Washington, in a tradition dating back to 1902. As sister locations, we remain one of West Seattle's oldest continuously operating businesses, and continuously evolve to meet the needs of our diverse greater Seattle community.

A range of services

Chapel at Forest Lawn Funeral HomeAs a full-service funeral home, Forest Lawn Funeral Home provides a wide range of funeral, cremation and memorialization options. Our funeral home offers the services of our on-site cremation center for those who choose cremation.

Every person’s life has a story. We help you tell yours like no one else can. Whether you are making arrangements in advance or have an immediate need, our caring and compassionate associates will guide and assist you in creating a tribute that honors your loved one’s wishes. We want to help you truly reflect personality, individuality and passion for life.

Now offering human composting

A new choice for nature lovers, conservationists and those who want to protect the planet for future generations, human composting is a more natural alternative to burial and cremation. Inside a vessel created especially for this purpose, organic elements, such as wood chips, mulch and wildflowers, gently transform a body into nutrient-rich soil. Your family may choose to use this soil to plant trees or flowers, or you can place it in a location meaningful to you. The remaining soil is sent to conservation land on the Olympic Peninsula to aid projects such as reforestation, improving soil health and restoring challenged ecosystems.

Cemetery

Cemetery at Forest Lawn Funeral Home & CemeterySituated on 20 naturally beautiful acres with attractive trees, seasonal flowers and well-kept lawns, Forest Lawn Cemetery provides a quiet place to honor the memory of your loved ones. All of our services are designed to help you through one of the most personal and challenging stages of life. With a wide variety of burial options, including glass-front cremation niches in the mausoleum and a granite columbarium, we are certain that your family will find an arrangement that suits your needs and wishes.

Memorial Day event

We consider it a privilege to honor military families and veterans. Each year, on Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. For over 80 years, we have hosted a ceremony in partnership with American Legion Post 160 and other community groups.

History

Considered the longest continuously operating business in West Seattle, Forest Lawn Cemetery has served families since 1902. In the early 1980s, Forest Lawn Funeral Home opened to better serve the West Seattle community. The facility closed shortly thereafter and reopened in 1995. In 2002, we merged with West Home Funeral Chapel in West Seattle. Today, both the funeral home and cemetery are members of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers and create personalized tributes to celebrate those who shape our community each day.
