The casket bearing the 96-year-old heiress long considered the last Hawaiian princess is set to go on public display in the downtown Honolulu palace that benefited from her wealth.
Abigail Kinoiki Kekaulike Kawānanakoa's casket, handcrafted from a 165-year-old koa tree that fell during a 2021 storm on the Big Island, was scheduled to arrive at ʻIolani Palace in a hearse on Sunday and be carried by members of a law enforcement honoir guard up the palace's front stairs and into the throne room.
