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.

Splendor for acres

Kona Memorial Park was established years ago, and serving families has always been our focus. We take pride in maintaining a setting that allows people to find solace.

Celebrating life

Celebrating life is our mission. That’s never changed. And with pride, it never will.
