The Three Graces fountain sculpture by designed by Charles Cary Rumsey and was donated in 1987 to Forest Lawn Cemetery by the Rumsey and Goodyear families and the patrons of Forest Lawn Cemetery. The fountain consists of three female figures representing Aglaia, Euphrosene and Thalia and are standing around a fountain jet as if washing. One figure stands on one leg holding her right foot with her left hand. Another figure has her left elbow aloft with her left hand behind her neck and her right hand resting on the figure next to her. The third figure stands with her left arm bent at the elbow, left hand on her shoulder, and right arm at her side.
Since the fountain is inside the cemetery, access is restricted to various hours during various times of the year. Be sure to check the times at the entry gate to avoid getting locked in.
