History & Staff

Our Story

Learn the legacy

We've learned a lot about caring for families over the years. We realize that we aren't just caring for a loved one, but the entire family. People come to us during their most difficult times, and we respond with kindness, understanding and expertise. Our goal is to make everyone feel at home as we work with them to create a memorable service in honor of a beautiful life.

One-stop convenience

Known for its dignity, peace and serenity, Nakamura Mortuary is a full-service facility offering the one-stop convenience of an expansive funeral home, Maui Memorial Park Cemetery and on-site crematory.

Our beginnings

Nakamura Mortuary has been serving the Maui community for over 75 years.

Meeting the needs of our community

Nakamura Mortuary recently went through a major renovation. Updating our facility to meet the changing needs of our community. The chapel is air conditioned and we now have the ability to live stream any of our services for those that may not be able to attend the service in person.
