We at Forest Lawn extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Frank Gehry, the pioneering architect who reshaped skylines and redefined how we interact with the buildings that shelter us.

His work was a gift not only to this city but to humanity—spaces that uplifted, inspired, and challenged us to dream bigger. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and all whose lives were touched by his creativity. His legacy will continue to shine through the iconic structures bearing his unmistakable spirit.

We at Forest Lawn extend our condolences to the nation and the family of former Vice President Dick Cheney on his passing. As the 46th Vice President of the United States, serving from 2001 to 2009 under President George W. Bush, Mr. Cheney dedicated his life to public service, also serving as Secretary of Defense and U.S. Representative. His leadership during pivotal moments in our nation’s history—through the end of the Cold War, the Gulf War, and the post-9/11 era—left a lasting mark on our country. We honor his memory and decades of service to the American people.
