Borthwick Kauaʻi Mortuary is a Poʻipū Road landmark, resembling a plantation building that hints of Kōloa’s history of Hawaiʻi’s first sugar cane plantation.

We appreciate and celebrate the diversity of Hawaiʻi and are non-denominational, welcoming all religions, cultures and backgrounds.

History

Borthwick Kauaʻi Mortuary was established in 1928. The funeral home was originally operated by the Medeiros family. Hawaiian Memorial Life Plan acquired the funeral home in 1987 and renamed it Borthwick Kauaʻi Mortuary.

In 1992, Borthwick Kauaʻi Mortuary became a member of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers. As a Dignity Memorial affiliate, we are able to offer exclusive benefits to the families we serve, such as our Relocation Protection Program.

After many decades of serving our community, it is our goal to serve each family with compassion and respect.

Public servants program

In recognition of the courage and selfless service of those who keep our communities safe, Dignity Memorial providers offer honorable funeral tributes at no cost for career and volunteer law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency services personnel who fall in the line of duty. In addition to providing funeral, cremation and burial services, the program extends counseling services to their families.

it's not an experience I want to repeat...losing a loved one. But as it is a part of life, we may encounter it again. If and when that time comes, I am very confident and would strongly recommend Borthwick Mortuary. Their staff went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you Borthwick Mortuary!
