Those who will not be present at the ceremony or choose to not personally float an Individual Lantern may have their remembrances placed onto the original handcrafted wooden-frame Collective Remembrance Lanterns that will be floated from the canoes by volunteers.

Through Thursday, May 23, 2024, you may visit the Shinnyo-en Hawaii temple located at 2348 S. Beretania to write your remembrances on the specially prepared paper that will be placed onto a Collective Remembrance Lantern. The temple is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on days when it is scheduled to be open. (View the temple schedule).

Collective remembrances will also be accepted at the beach on the ceremony day from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m at the Collective Remembrance Tent located next to the Lantern Request Tent.
