Lunalilo Mausoleum, Royal mausoleum in Downtown Honolulu, United States
The Lunalilo Mausoleum contains two koa wood caskets resting on red-carpeted flooring, with three kāhili mounted on Italian marble stands adjacent to them.
King Lunalilo, who ruled Hawaii from 1873 to 1874, chose to be buried at Kawaiahao Church grounds rather than the Royal Mausoleum, reflecting his connection to common people.
The presence of kāhili, traditional Hawaiian royal standards made of feathers, within the mausoleum represents the monarchy's ceremonial practices and royal protocols.
The mausoleum, located on the grounds of Kawaiahao Church in Downtown Honolulu, maintains regular visiting hours for those interested in Hawaiian royal history.
During the transfer of King Lunalilo's remains in 1875, a sudden thunderstorm occurred, which locals interpreted as nature's own 21-gun salute to their monarch.
