If you are not sure how or where to start, please read our Q&A below to see what your next steps are.

Q: Was the deceased a member/Parishioner of Sacred Heart Church?
A:
YES: If yes, we can hold the Funeral at Sacred Heart
NO: If no, please find out where the deceased was registered and contact that Church first.

Q: Was the deceased a resident of the general Punahou/Makiki Area?
A:
YES: If yes, we can hold the Funeral at Sacred Heart
NO: If no, please first contact the Church closest to the area of residence of the deceased.

Q: If the remains of the deceased will be available for visitation, do you want a Full Mass (Prayers, Readings and Holy Communion) said for the deceased, or are you just wanting a prayer service?
A:
FULL MASS: If you would like a full mass said, then the Funeral can be held in any Catholic Church. Priority will be given to Parishioners should there be any scheduling conflicts.
PRAYER SERVICE: If you only want a prayer service (no Communion), the service must be held in the Mortuary Chapel which Father can be present at.  Priority will be given to Parishioners should there be any scheduling conflicts.

We are forever honored to celebrate in Memorium.  Give us a call at 808-973-2211 if you have any additional questions.  Sacred Heart Church collects a flat rate of $700 for all funerals which includes facilities usage, parking attendants (2 hours), and music.
