Monument Foundations across Hawaii, coordinated from first call to final photo

A monument is only as stable as the base beneath it. We prepare and pour concrete foundations and set level bases sized to your monument and the cemetery’s specification, so uprights, flat markers and benches sit square and stay put through freeze-thaw and ground settling. Foundation depth and materials follow the cemetery’s approved requirements — there is no single depth suitable for every site. Every job is coordinated with the cemetery and documented with photos.

Across Hawaii, monument foundations is delivered through our West network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in California, Washington supporting scheduling across the region.

We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Hawaii is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Featured Hawaii cemetery

Foundation and setting plans start with the cemetery itself. Here is what VA publishes for National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.

National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific

History

Few national cemeteries can compete with the dramatic natural setting of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
The "Punchbowl" was formed some 75,000 to 100,000 years ago during the Honolulu period of secondary volcanic activity.

General information

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific is in an extinct volcano near the center of Honolulu, Hawaii.
On either side of the grand stairs leading to the memorial are eight courts of the missing on which are inscribed the names of the 18,095 American World War II missing from the Pacific, excluding those from the southwest Pacific, and 8,210 American missing from the Korean War.

Burial space

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific has space available for cremated remains in the columbarium.
We may be able to accommodate casketed remains in the same gravesite of previously interred family members.

Directions from the nearest airport

The cemetery is located in central Honolulu, approximately midway between the Honolulu International Airport and the Waikiki hotel area.
Take the Interstate H-1 East ramp to Honolulu/Waikiki and stay on H-1 East for approximately 4 miles.
Get off at exit 21A (Pali Highway).

Floral and grounds rules

The maintenance of gravesites by visitors (e.g., cutting grass; trenching around graves/markers; painting markers) is not allowed.
Floral items and/or other types of decorations are not allowed to be attached to grave markers, niche covers or columbarium walls.

What families say

Trusted by families and funeral homes across the country

“They handled everything with our mother’s monument — delivery, cemetery coordination, installation and photos afterward. We live in another state, so knowing it was set correctly and respectfully meant the world to us.”

Linda M.

Family, out-of-state

“The deep cleaning and leveling completely transformed the family plot. The before-and-after photos were incredible, and now the stone looks like it did when it was first installed. We’re very grateful for the care they showed.”

Emily R.

Family

“We added dates and a portrait to an existing monument through their engraving team. Everything matched perfectly and was done right at the cemetery. Communication was clear from start to finish.”
