I knew immediately I did not need to look any further. Hailama was an absolute blessing from the very start. He provided comfort and ensured our love one would be very well taken-cared of. He kept us updated on the entire logistics and was so very compassionate. He coordinated getting our love one home and helped with the entire service. The entire staff at Ballard's was so understanding even when I could barely think straight. Donnie from their Maui location helped with printing such beautiful programs. I could not praise them enough or thank them enough. No one plans for a funeral but they made the process so each to comprehend and was there every single step of the way. The facility (chapel, waiting area, standing area) was so beautiful. All those who came to pay respects, all commented on the beautiful facility. Hailama, if you're reading this... My ohana appreciates you so very much. You provided healing and understanding at the lowest point of our lives.

Hosoi did a wonderful job making sure everything was as she wished and easy to work with, absolutely organized, efficient, and very sympathetic. Dad passed a couple months ago and we were lucky to work with Ricki, who was so wonderful because there was an additional step to Dad's plan as he was a retired Air Force Lt Col so his final wish was to be interred at Punchbowl with full military honors. Ricki kindly helped with all of the plans, setting the date with Punchbowl and working with USAF to ensure dad received his honors. Ricki's been doing this a while so he has it down-pat and makes good suggestions, answers all our questions patiently, and just made us feel like family. Like he treated us how he would treat his own during this overwhelming time. He answered all our emails promptly and even called when he needed to discuss a more sensitive matter. During the grieving time your mind doesn't work as it should- or at least mine doesn't - it was a comfort to work with Ricki and the rest of the kind ladies in the office who remained professional but caring with each interaction we had. Mahalo to Ricki and these ladies who obviously care and want to make sure our loved ones and us are at peace.

For both services, the deceased had funeral plans with Hosoi making it a lot easier. This company had been in business for so long that it is reputable, organized and the program runs smoothly. Personally I'm glad it was in English without the senko(incense)offering. They set up a table for friends and family to sign in and give their koden(money envelopes) to the family. There are ample benched seating for the guests during the service both in and out.. Inside is nice, comfortable and air conditioned. Podium and microphone are present. You can show a video on the screen as part of your program. You can select your clergy person along with who does the eulogy or remembrances of your dearly departed. After the service it's customary to provide refreshments or a meal to your guests in their outside dining hall. The one we just attended got their deluxe bentos from Natsunoya and 3 kinds of mochi, manju from Kansai Yamato for dessert. Beverages are also provided. There are two toilets available for your guests.guests

As a family coming together to honor and celebrate the life of our loved one, we expected a higher level of professionalism, care, and support. The overall quality of the facilities and equipment felt outdated, and the interactions with some of the staff came across as less welcoming than we had hoped. There were several issues throughout the service, including the slideshow not being played as planned and the microphones cutting in and out while people were speaking. The most difficult part was feeling rushed during the time we were trying to take photos, reflect, and create final memories with our loved one. This was an important moment for our family, and we hoped to have more time and support to truly honor that experience. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future families, because during such a meaningful and emotional time, compassion, patience, and professionalism are incredibly important.

Shelby's actions made me feel that closing the sale was a higher priority than helping my family bury my mother with dignity. Even after three weeks, the paperwork needed for us to obtain a death certificate had not been filed with the state, which meant we couldn't get the certificate needed to work with the banks. Repeatedly being unable to reach them delayed our ability to finalize arrangements, and my mother's funeral was pushed back. Because she had not been embalmed and significant time had passed, her condition had deteriorated by the time she was transferred. She was no longer recognizable to us.

He took us to the top of the hill at the inspiration sign and stated this is where they're going to set up. They told us that we weren't allowed to place flowers in the grave because they didn't want anyone to follow the casket down as they buried it. They also said that they wouldn't be setting up chairs because of the slant in the ground cause our mom and dad's grave face the Koolaus. Only the pall bearers were allowed. We asked if we could wait and they said it would be a very long time until they put the dirt on top of the plot. We printed this and placed a detailed map of the location we were taken to into the program for her funeral. We also let all the guests of the funeral know that we were unable to drop the flowers into the grave, the pall bearers weren't allowed to carry it with with the body, and allowed the guest to take the flowers. Ed Puchalski from the cemetery had both me and my sister's contact information and had been talking to us during the two weeks asking us for payment. The day of our mother's funeral they changed the location of where the chairs were set up. Instead of at the top of the hill by the inspiration sign - which is where we were taken two weeks ago. They set up the chairs at the end of the roundabout at the bottom of the hill across the field- and told no one. The entrance to this area was past the veterans area on a completely different road. There were no signs left at the location we were initially taken that notified anyone about the change location. It looked completely empty, like the burial was already done It was a place you are unable to see from the road. Only the people who knew where the burial plot was would've been able to find the burial site. The guests who did look for the burial site were forced to walk almost 200 feet across the field, downhill. Ed Puchalski from the Cemetery was at the burial where the chairs were set up. He told us we could leave flowers now. We told him that he had told us two weeks ago that we were not allowed to because of listed reasons above. We looked at all the other plots in the area and they were covered in flowers. He did not make an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding or make an apology. The pall bearers were forced to carry the casket up the hill. The metal casket with the body weighs about 400 pounds. The Mortuary had given them traditional white cotton gloves that caused a lot of slipping. The lack of foresight was very dangerous and you could see their difficulty. We were unsure of how many people missed the burial because of the location. We were also very disappointed because we didn't have the ability give her all the gifts that she was given by all the people who also came to the funeral. She was given so many flowers, and at the end of it, her gravesite looked bare. We felt like we were not able to mourn properly because of the restrictions that we were given and the change of plans that were made the day of the funeral.
