Hubert Eaton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hubert Eaton (June 3, 1881 – September 20, 1966) was an American businessman.

Born in Liberty, Missouri, he is noted as the creator of the Forest Lawn Glendale and Hollywood Hills cemeteries in the Los Angeles, California area that became the burial site for many movie stars and other film industry members. As well, with its several chapels spread throughout the park-like setting, it is also the marriage place for such personalities as U.S. President Ronald Reagan and his first wife, actress Jane Wyman.

On his passing in 1966, Hubert Eaton was immured in the "Memorial Court of Honor" in the Great Mausoleum in his Glendale cemetery.
