Even if you are unable to float a lantern in person at the ceremony at Ala Moana Beach, you can still send a remembrance to be floated on your behalf.

Your remembrance will be transcribed and affixed to the wood-framed Collective Remembrance Lanterns and floated for you by volunteers on canoes during the ceremony.

Submit your message using the form below.

  • Messages received by April 30 will be hand-transcribed by volunteers.
