Alfred Locke,<\/span> son of Pinelawn\u2019s founder, first engaged Ismar David in 1964, on the recommendation of Leon Shipper, another cemetery owner. The commission was a small mausoleum building<\/a>, featuring John Donne\u2019s Meditation XVII, which begins \u201cNo man is an island entire of itself\u2026\u201d David\u2019s subsequent association with the Locke family and Pinelawn Memorial Park lasted for more than 30 years and involved planning the grounds and roads, designing large mausoleum complexes and features for ground burial areas, as well as graphics for promotion and advertising<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe policy of Pinelawn is and always will be, to make it as beautiful and as tasteful as possible. Not merely by giving careful attention to all lawns, roads, foliage and flowers, and individual memorials but by developing a comprehensive park plan adapted to the size and resources of Pinelawn \u2026 by which the beauty of each part will be designed to contribute to the beauty of the whole, thereby enhancing the dignity and solemnity of the entire park.\u201d From Pinelawn\u2019s original brochure in 1902<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n
