eaton and charles simms entered into a contract with forest lawn cemetery in tropico (now glendale), california to manage the sales of burial property in 1912. in 1917, eaton conceived the "memorial-park" concept and forest lawn cemetery was renamed forest lawn memorial-park. he envisioned forest lawn as a place for the living, having sweeping lawns and noble architecture, stained glass, and a place that uplifted the community rather than being a place of sorrow. eaton became noted as, and referred to himself as, "the builder" of forest lawn glendale. during his life, he supervised the opening of forest lawn hollywood hills, forest lawn cypress, and forest lawn covina hills in the greater los angeles, california area, which became the funeral and/or interment locations for many movie stars and other celebrities. with several beautiful chapels throughout the glendale cemetery's park-like setting, it has also served as the wedding location for well-known celebrities, including u.s. president ronald reagan and his first wife, actress jane wyman.
