Wow! So it is legal in Hawaii! Thanks for sharing. Aside from all the legal considerations regarding possible sale of real estate, this law is a great law for families who do have these legacy lands and are able to bring their loved ones "home." I've traveled extensively throughout the pacific and this is a common practice in many of the island nations. Graves on family properties are as common as coconut trees. kids play on and around the graves and families treat these graves with great reverence and respect. Ditching the traditional western lens will help you better understand this practice.
As more people become hip to the "economics of death," many more are choosing to ditch the traditional funeral. Such funerals and cemetery burials can run into the thousands of dollars. From embalming to coffins, everything comes with a price. And a price on the environment too. Studies have found that the materials used to build coffins might need to be looked at further. The best thing for the environment might be a cardboard box. [
