Forest Lawn is the final resting place of hundreds of celebrities - Errol Flynn, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Spencer Tracy, just to name a few - and is an exquisitely beautiful location with a museum and a very impressive collection of fine art, including over 1500 statues on the Forest Lawn grounds.   This copy of The Little Mermaid statue was placed here by British actress Greer Garson in memory of her mother.
