Experience the Difference

Nestled in the foothills of the breathtaking Ko’olau Mountains on the lush windward side of O’ahu, Valley of the Temples Memorial Park is considered one of the most beautiful parks in the world. With more than 40 acres land yet to be developed, Valley of the Temples will be able to serve the island of Oahu for generations to come at one of the most picturesque places on the island.

Diversity is not only accommodated here, it is treasured. Designated gardens honor many religious and cultural traditions, from the Catholic Garden of the Holy Cross to Chinese and Japanese gardens to others created for specific groups including veterans and native Hawaiians.

At Valley of the Temples, we understand that losing someone you love is one of life’s most difficult experiences, and that’s why it’s so important to us that our clients feel like an extension of our own family. Our incredible team of professionals have many years of experience, and as we comfort families in times of loss, we work tirelessly to ensure they’re all treated with compassion and respect.
