A good friend (who lives in the states) just lost her father, who is Hawaiian and lives in Hilo. She was visiting him when the death occured and will be down there for the next few weeks. Can anyone tell what a traditional Hawaiian funeral is like? Do you send flowers, like we do in the states? Do they send leis? I am not sure what the appropriate way to send my respects is. Thanks.
Funeral customs/Paying respects in the Hawaiian culture?
Here is a webpage with information regarding traditional Hawaiian rites of passage:
