Oʻahu Mortuary

We are honored to extend our services to client families throughout Hawaii, providing care, compassion, and affordability. Since our establishment in 1844, we have celebrated diversity and inclusivity, catering to our international family of different cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. During this difficult time, we are here to support and serve you, creating a meaningful ceremony to remember and cherish the life of your loved one, both now and forever.

In 1859, O'ahu Cemetery became one of Hawaii's first non-profits. In August 2013, O'ahu Mortuary was established as a subsidiary, wholly owned by O'ahu Cemetery & Crematory. In 2015, we completed a new crematory facility, equipped with three cremation units to serve families efficiently once all regulatory requirements are met. Families can choose to witness their loved one's committal in our welcoming Aloha Room.

At O'ahu Mortuary, we treat every family we serve as if they were our own. Our history and beauty speak volumes, showcasing our dedication to providing exceptional service. Established in 1906, we were the first public crematory in the Hawaiian islands. Throughout the years, our cremation experts have always offered affordable services filled with compassion and experience. Rest assured, when you choose us, your loved one will always remain in our care.

Selecting a final resting place is a significant decision, and at O'ahu Cemetery & Crematory, we provide various burial options, both for individuals and families.

Our chapel, designed by renowned architect Oliver G. Traphagen, holds historical significance. Traphagen also designed the first hotel on Waikiki Beach, the Moana, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1906, he created the chapel at O'ahu Cemetery. Our historic chapel can accommodate up to 150 guests, providing a personalized memorial service. The lanai, with its beautiful outdoor setting, can host up to 75 guests for an additional reception area. Gathering here with family and friends allows for reflection, respect, and remembrance.
