I'm still waiting for death certificate that was delayed not because of Norman but because of medical investigation. I am so glad I chose Norman Special thanks to Alani who responds me right away whenever I have questions. She is very efficient and very helpful!! read more

After calling the other Mortuaries in town and finding them strangely unhelpful, I contacted Donnie at Norman's and knew within three minutes that I finally made the right choice. Caring, informative and patient, Donnie walked me through the process and began the final arrangements making things much easier in a difficult time. read more

Norman's Mortuary was respectful and very helpful. Ed went above the call of duty to help us on several issues. Being from the Mainland, I did not know what to expect for a local funeral, but the process was smooth. Thank you, Amy Spencer Hasegawa read more

We loved working with the staff from Norman's Mortuary. They were professional in all aspects of taking care of our love one.

Aloha, I just wanted to mention that when I met Donnie during this time of loss, I didn't know that the process would be smooth sailing once she took over. Although last minute but within the time frame, we were doing a custom brochure that she told me whatever we have so far just send it through. By the next day it had been polished and looked great. That service really helped so we could move on to other responsibilities that we had. Mahalo Donnie and staff read more

During our difficult time we were treated with such professionalism, patience and compassion by the entire staff. There was no question, concern or need that wasn't answered. It is still amazing to me how Donnie Kalehuawehe made our vision and multiple changes to daddy's program a realty. It is so beautifully done! You created a forever family keepsake Special thank you to Aloha, Aunty Char, Donnie and those that helped with the food set/cleanup and daddy's service. I apologize I forgot your names. Please know you were also appreciated. From the Ohana of Herman Nascimento Gods continued blessings to you all! read more

A big big big mahalo to the staff at Norman's Mortuary for their assistance during this difficult time in the loss of our beloved Grandmother. Thank you to Christopher Dearborn for the perfect embalming work along with the extra care that was given during the identification acknowledgment check done. Thank you to Donnienne Kalehuawehe for her patience in creating our programs. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and the fact that she prints for all the locations in Hawaii under the firms is impressive. Thank you to Charlene Rodrigues for allowing us to set up early on the first day of service which allowed us to spend out family time directly with our dear Nangy instead of rushing during the "family visitation" time along with directing the service so smoothly with the assistance of Liz. Thank you to BJ Uwekoolani for directing Nangy's second day of service and for giving our ohana so much love and compassion all the way til the burial. Thank you to Kenneth Sharits for being the second director for the second day to assist in transporting all of the beautiful arrangements to her burial site. Thank you to Baby, Ernesta and Gerald for their housekeeping duties for both days. The facility was spotless! And thank you to Ed Laureto for your assistance in catching the errors that were overlooked by the Location Manager. We wish this could be a 5 start review however, our grandmother was placed in the wrong casket on the day of her appearance check. There was no room for error as the Location Manager had over 3 weeks to review the file. Also, on the first day of service, we provided our RSVP list and although it was confirmed by the Location Manager, it was still printed incorrectly which brought so much stress while setting up. When the office closed, we realized there were more family names missing and we didn't stress it at the end of the night because Saturdays, the Location should be in operation from 8 am to 12pm as stated online along with their postings on the business door. But we were informed that there is no administration on Saturdays which caused even more stress because we wanted everything to be done in a smoothly manner. The family should have to stress on the days of service when everything is provided to the staff. Even something so basic needs to be taught. At the end of the day, we made it work with the great help of the funeral directors. Thank you again for all of your help. read more

Norman's Mortuary - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Wailuku, Hawaii

Norman's Mortuary staff was exceptional in providing for our every need during a most difficult time. They are a gift, a blessing, and now, new friends. Norman's Mortuary left a permanent imprint on our spirits. How can we even begin to repay everyone, to show our deepest gratitude for the great people you are... We would feel uneasy to simply say thank you for the beautiful job everyone did to honor our Mom, Avelina Ped Lucero. For what everyone did transcends any form of a "job", it's much, much more than a career, a business; more than bricks and material dressings in your establishment - your care and compassion knows no limits, knows no prejudice, knows no judgement... I'm sure our Mom would have been very pleased. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to Nia Bailey, Raquel Lara - Cruz, Raji Gaskin, Charlene Rodrigues, Donnienne Kalehuawehe and Betty Jean Uwekoolani. We are truly grateful for all your kindness and most of all for our newfound friendship. Sincerely, Cesar Lucero Ed Lucero Jeannette Lucero Larry Lucero read more

If we could give a 10 star we would. Our family suffered greatly in 2020 and through our devastations the staff here at Normans Mortuary went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. Aunty Char, Aunty BJ, Nia...they all became like family. The services we received here in October 2020 and now again in Jan 2021. Top notch and ohana vibes all around. We already knew the kind of treatment we would have, so it was a no brainer! Thank you again! read more

Beyond grateful for Norman's Mortuary and Aloha Puaa!!! She provided exceptional service and support during a most difficult time with the unexpected passing of my brother Inlaw Albert Medeiros. My husband Branden and I are from Oahu and we flew here feeling anxious and she handled everything with such grace and respect. There should be more people in the world like her! You are such a blessing! Much MAHALO from the Medeiros Ohana! Branden and Luz read more

Words cannot express the overall exceptional experience my Ohana and I received from Norman's Mortuary. Everyone was compassionate and heart warming towards the grief that we were going through. Working with the printing department of Norman's Mortuary was very easy and transparent. Our Ohana gave them what we wanted and they were able to beautify our father's program. Again, wonderful heart warming service all around Norman's Mortuary. They are/were a blessing to work. Mahalo Norman's! -With Aloha, The Kapalu Ohana- read more

Norman's has been helping my family since I was little. And just recently with the passing of my husband I went to see them, I was treated with the extreme kindness and respect. From the time I walked in the door and had my first appointment with Brittany all the way up until the day of his service, Aunty Char and the team took such great care of not only my husband but my family and I. Words can not express how truly grateful I am for the staff and facilities At Norman's. Donnienne the programs you printed was everything and more than I expected, such an outstanding job. read more

The staff at Norman's Mortuary took really good care of us during our difficult time. They provided and supported us for the funeral service of our mother, and then our father. They were professional, respectful and have a beautiful facility for the funeral services. Our loved ones had been prepared beautifully. The staff were with us every step of the way. We have no complaints, and are very happy with the service and care received from Norman's. read more

The staff at Norman's was AWESOME. They provided me and my family the best possible service during our time of need. Mom would have been proud of the way her services went. Thank You Brittney and the rest of the staff for a job well done!!! read more

Norman's Mortuary and specifically Alani-Anna Wun were there for us through thick and thin throughout a difficult accidental drowning our father suffered while on a bucket list vacation on the islands. Alan provided amazing support for our family while dealing with getting the remains of our father back to the mainland and the process of filing accidental death claims. Without reservation I 100% recommend Norman's and specifically Alani! read more

Normans mortuary services were wonderful!!!! They were so comforting during such difficult times. They took care of all the planning and made it stress free. Thank you all again! read more

i would like to thank the Normans Staff for a smooth sailing Service. Also, would like to mention thank you to Mapu for taking quick action on my concern to making my son Inlaw Kalalena Ekewaka Piena a memorable and beautiful service. Mahalos. read more

Mahalo to everyone at Norman's for taking care of our ohana during our time of grief. Nia, BJ, Char and everyone there took care of us and helped us get through the most difficult thing we ever had to do--our dad/husband's memorial, especially during the holiday season. Without their help, we wouldn't be able to celebrate his life the best way possible. Mahalo again for all your care & love! read more

Printing Department of Norman's Mortuary- From the initial meeting to order pick up, Norman's and their entire staff were so empathetic and full of support during our time of loss. They noitced small details that we would have overlooked being in the thick of our grief. Durning the ordering process they followed up to ensure that it was excatly as we wanted. Providing multiple proofs with all changes. Once we perfected our order and gave authorization our order was created. It came out just as we had hoped, it truly honored our father. I highly recommend their printing department. Having all of our needs and requests met made such a time smoothe so we could be present, without worrying about going to multipule places. All of it was at our request with Norman's, one office to call for all our needs. Thank you to all the staff; from the phone call to service. We were treated and cared for like family. Thank you Mapu and Aunty Char! read more

While we didn't have our loved one's service here, we did have interaction with the staff. We unfortunately went with Ballard Family Mortuary, who also owns Norman's Mortuary. Long story short, we did a video on Smilebox, burnt it to DVD with limited success (spotty music, pauses, etc.,) and wanted to try it days before the funeral to make sure it would play on Ballard's system. The unprofessional and uncaring staff at Ballard didn't let us test it out. Instead, they referred us to Norman's Mortuary to see Marlow who is in charge of their A/V department. Norman's Mortuary has no WiFi, so we couldn't use our MacBook. We tried to download the video on Marlow's iMac but was unsuccessful because it's old and slow, so, he took us to their main office to try their computers. That's where we met Gwen, a very caring, warm, friendly, and professional staff member. She allowed us to utilize their computer to try and download the video in hopes of burning it. 3 tries were unsuccessful, pausing at 99% completeness. We thanked them and left. Come the funeral day at Ballard, we're now allowed to test out our DVD. Of course it doesn't work. They have no HDMI ports, so hooking up our MacBook or even a BluRay player wasn't possible. Two family members ended up leaving the funeral to go get our TV & BluRay player from our home because we really wanted to play the video. In the meantime, Jackie (our freelance funeral director) phones over to Gwen at Norman's Mortuary to let her know what's going on. Gwen then tells Jackie that when she turned on her computer that morning, our Smilebox video was downloaded. Gwen then burns it to DVD, and drives it to us at Ballard. What an angel. Only a naturally-caring, big-hearted person would do that. Thank you, Gwen, from the bottom of our hearts. You were a lifesaver while we were drowning. Thank you, Marlow, for giving it 110% effort. Our video played perfectly, the family saw it, and that's all that mattered. read more

I had to make arrangements from California for my son's cremation. The staff at Normans was fantastic. Paperwork was done easily with docusign. They always answered my calls and kept me informed. Alani-anna Wun was especially kind and helpful. They made a sad and difficult time a lot easier. Thank you Norman's Mortuary. read more

Staff was very patient, super supportive and undoubtedly helpful. I must've called a million times with questions, especially because I am located off island. Raquel, Cherisse and the rest of the staff (answering the phone) were extremely helpful. Taking extra time with assisting our preparations, answering with quick response and emailing detailed information. Donnie also had to rough draft the programs a couple of times due to undecided program, which turned out beautifully done. The staff at Normans treated us like family. On the day of funeral service, it was Aunty & Matila who helped make the day run smooth, enforcing COVID best practices and helping us to keep in operation, as human beings in grief are emotionally distorted creatures. I'm very greatful and would definitely recommend this place! read more

Thank you Mapu Kekahuna and his staff at Norman's Mortuary. It is because of your compassion, empathy and love that our uncle ia able to travel back safely to home. Thank you all for your tender for the remains of our uncle. You are beyond a 5 star but more so a 10 star read more

They were amazing and the programs were beautiful. Everything came out just how we wanted it.

The help we received during this most difficult time I'd have to say was exceptional, professional and most caring. Mapu And Chasity Thank you for sharing the true meaning of Aloha Dana M read more

The service at Norman's Mortuary is exceptional. Most of my interactions were with Donni and Mapu who were both extremely friendly, professional and accommodating. I am the editor-in-chief of a locally produced magazine. As a publication based on the islands, we wanted to print our magazine locally. Donni and Mapu completed test prints for us to make sure that all specifications were how we needed and when we placed our official order, it was ready in less than 24 hours! The women at the front desk of Norman's were also very helpful and friendly during the billing and payment process. I highly recommend Norman's for your printing needs. And although I haven't experienced a service here, I imagine that their warm and welcoming demeanor would be comforting during such a difficult time. Mahalo for your help! read more

My mother Velma U. Becraft was found in her home in Waihe'e on May 20th of 2020. Just 4 days before what would have been her 55th birthday. Any passing of a parent is hard. My situation is no different. Due to my mother's condition there needed to be extra tests to find cause of death/passing date, (which they never did) this prolonged receiving a death certificate. Due to the state she was in she needed to be cremated. My mother already started a burial plan with Norman's and I 100 % know why. The care and empathy this establishment shows is beyond expectation. Raquel was so gracious, she walked me through this painful process. She even called me with the actual time of my mothers cremation so I could have a moment of silence. The thought that went into all of this was beautiful. It helped so much, just to have a stress free environment to assist me in such a stressful situation. She also called me as soon as the test results came in just so I can stay up to date on the arrival for the death certificates. Raquel went ahead and ordered multiple for me, already thinking about how many people/ places I would have to take that document to. These are all things that would have flown over my head if she had not mentioned it. On top of that, I have 4 charms, one for each of my mother's siblings who live on the big island, ka'ū (where she is from) that will be filled with her ashes as a keepsake. I also have a box that will be placed in a niche at the Hilo veterans cemetery. Lastly I have an ipu that will stay with me on Maui until I am ready to spread her at her favorite beach. With all of these different items Norman's offered to separate her ashes for me, so I am not sobbing and making a mess of things. I am eternally grateful for Raquel and her awesome staff.

Not a place we all go for fun. Inside is still in really good shape for being an older place Space for food and refreshments in back. Parking is limited so you may have to park faraway and walk a bit read more

I wanted to go with Normans because my family would always go to this mortuary since I could remember. The staff was always so friendly me welcoming. I have a friend who works there and her name is Raquel. Shes such a nice person and when I wanted to do an intimate service for my Dad, she and her team helped us through everything so calmly. They gave us no problems whatsoever. They were very professional and not once did they give us a hard time about anything. I recommend them for all your funeral needs. They will not disappoint. read more

Wonderful, caring and compassionate staff. I would recommend them to anyone, they were very helpful in my time of need. Cheryl and Gwen along with Caprice patiently helped me through all the paperwork and questions, my numerous phone calls were answered promptly. Donnie and Mapu are MASTERS at designs programs, spend the extra money and go with them, you won't regret it. You give them ideas and they come up with the concept and something you can keep forever. They also put together a wonderful memorable video for us to use and keep. BJ was as always the best coordinator for our day of service. She managed the crowd. logistics and church and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Mahalo ke akua pu read more

Yes, I've been looking around for my future, making sure I get a good price on my plan, checking the place out. I wanted to start a plan already, so my kids don't have to pay for my funeral plan. I got helped by Adela and she was great, smart, and gives me the best option for me, she was looking for anything to make sure I got the best deal and cared for. I asked to see the mortuary to compare it with Ballards, and it looks clean, and I didn't know it was Koa wood until she told me. It looks bigger than Ballards and they just changed the carpets and it looks good. All though I like Ballards heavenly look, it makes it hard. But I got time to think. Love the respect she gave me and the time she took to listen. Salamat. read more

The staff were all very kind during our time of loss. Gwen graciously helped us through all the preparation and paperwork, Donnie designed beautiful programs and cards for us, BJ was our very kind and compassionate funeral coordinator and Val of Waiakoa Floral Designs created beautiful arrangements for our beloved family member. The reception area is a little small but accommodated our guests well. We extend our sincerest mahalo to all the staff and recommend them whole heartedly. read more

I understand that losing someone you love during the holidays is not a convenient time for anyone, but the staff at Norman's dropped the ball with communicating times arranged for cremation. I was told I would be contacted in a few days after identifying remains for the time schedule of cremation, which rolled into a week later, and they had only contacted his sister on the mainland by email a few days before his cremation. I was never called here on Maui, as they had promised to do. I almost didn't know about the time, had his sister not contacted me herself. Again, they dropped the ball and didn't contact me to collect his remains in a timely manner and sister on mainland had to make two follow-up calls for me to find out if the ashes we're ready to collect. I would never wish this extra grief upon anyone. Please consider using any of the other mortuary services on Maui besides Norman's, as my own experience with them was not a good one, to say the least. read more
