A Historic and Perpetual Place of Healing
Founded in 1844, O'ahu Cemetery is Hawaii's oldest public cemetery. The site originally named Nuuanu Cemetery, and was established at the height of the whaling era to meet the need for a public burial ground for Honolulu's rapidly growing foreign population.
