Tala and her team are amazing . She wasn’t even on island and she was still able to assist me throughout everything. Plus Grace Mortuary wasn’t even on the list of funeral homes that was given to us . I’m glad that one of the places we called recommended Grace Mortuary. Cause without Tala and her team I wouldn’t be able to bring my mom back home where she belongs. Tala worked wonders and helped me bring her back home within the time frame that I was out there for . Thank you Tala and Grace Mortuary Team for everything you have done for us . My mom is finally home . I recommend Grace Mortuary for your funeral needs and most especially if you need you transport your loved ones back home. Mahalo .

I took my wife here and I waited in the car. The staff came out and offered me a cold beverage of choice. Very nice of them to do so. My wife also has no complaints about her purchase here.

Tala worked a miracle for my family. When we lost a family member while visiting, other funeral homes townside told us it would take 2-3 weeks to get back to the mainland. Tala got us all on a flight out within 5 hours of us showing up on her doorstep and showed us compassion every step of the way. We would not have been able to lay our family member to rest as soon as we did without Grace.

I would give 10 stars to Grace Mortuary if I could. Tala is AMAZING and her staff is phenomenal. Thank you Aunty Violetta for your selfless service to the Veterans and their families😘 Since the day we met Tala, she made us feel comfortable and we became more than friends, we became Family!!!From shipping our Mother’s body from American Samoa all the way up until the burial service, Tala was so compassionate and very understanding. She made the process seem effortless, but we know that there was a lot of work behind the scenes.Tala never pressured us about payments and was just helpful 24-7. She was always available to answer our questions and meet our needs. She went over and beyond our expectations. She was definitely a divine appointment and we are forever grateful for what her and her staff did for our family. No words can express our gratitude towards Grace Mortuary. May God bless Grace Mortuary abundantly and exceedingly. Don’t wait, call them up to set up your services!!!
