HAWAIIAN MEMORIAL PARK 

Hawaiian Memorial Park (HMP) began serving the community on Memorial Day in 1958.

​

In 1983, HMP purchased 203 acres above Pikoiloa Tract from Castle Estate Trust for future cemetery space. 

​

In 1989, HMP gifted 33 acres (of the 203 acres) to the State of Hawaii which allowed them to develop the Hawaii State Veterans Cemetery to provide additional burial space for veterans.

​

Today, HMP is at 93% capacity. This means that many of Hawaii's families who desire to be interred at HMP near their loved ones may not have this option in the near future.

​

For the last 10 years, HMP has been working on a plan to expand the capacity of the cemetery on its existing property. This is essential for HMP to continue to provide traditional burial and cremation memorialization options for Hawaii's families. 

​

HMP started the planning process in 2007. The first drafted plan was abandoned in 2010.  After listening to community concerns, HMP created a new plan in 2017 using input from the community.
