Forest Lawn Sanctuary is the cold-sleep institution whose withdrawal certificate Dan Davis presents as evidence that he has been released. The document helps establish his identity when he seeks permission to witness Frederica Heinicke’s awakening at Riverside Sanctuary, making Forest Lawn part of the chain of records connecting his return to her scheduled withdrawal.

Role in the Return

The next morning, at ten o’clock, Dan introduces himself to the director of Riverside Sanctuary as Daniel B. Davis and asks about Frederica, a committed client there. Asked to identify himself, he shows a driver’s license issued in Denver in 1970 and his withdrawal certificate from Forest Lawn Sanctuary. The certificate is therefore not merely a record of departure: in this encounter, it helps authenticate the person seeking access to Frederica.

Connection to Frederica’s Withdrawal

Dan believes Frederica is scheduled to be withdrawn that day. He distinguishes between wanting to observe the processing routines and wanting to be present at the final moment, when she is ready for the last restimulant and consciousness. Riverside’s director tells him that the instructions for her client file do not call for waking her that day. Dan feels disappointed and hurt. Forest Lawn’s role in this scene is indirect but consequential: its certificate helps Dan reach the point of making his request, while the decision about Frederica remains governed by Riverside’s instructions.
