I toured Forest Lawn a couple of weeks ago with a group and finally had a chance to see Henry the Moai in person. I asked if he had been authenticated or carbon tested and was told that they had never had any tests run on him but that they had no reason to doubt his authenticity...nor did they want to have him tested. So there you have it.

The neatest innovation at the cemetery is their new ability to make customized bronze funeral plaques from photographs that you supply (about $750). The example they showed was of a woman backpacking up a mountainside...but it could just as easily be someone sipping from a Mai Tai and flanked by two of their favorite carved tikis! Just a thought...
