Hawaii's First Crematory In March of 1905, the trustees of Oahu Cemetery began discussing the need for a public crematory, and enlisted the highly esteemed Oliver G. Traphagen (best known as the designer of the Moana Hotel) as the principal architect for the project. Around September of 1906, the single-chamber facility was completed, making it one of the first crematories in the United States. Crematory Facilities Today, we operate three cremation chambers that are available 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The original crematory chamber is still in operation.
