Visit the buildings to see some intricate mosaics depicting the U.S.'s involvement in World War II in the Pacific. View is fantastic. My Dad's funeral was held here.

Additional Information
Introduction
Considering that this crater area is thought to have been the historic location of human sacrifices, it's safe to call the placement of a cemetery intended to memorialize the memories of the dead here as adhering to one of the many vague definitions of irony. All jokes aside, this is one of the most respected locations on the island, and is the final resting place for some 34,000 veterans of American wars. The complex is exceptionally well maintained, topped off by the thirty foot tall statue of Lady Columbia that is meant to be a symbol of the grief felt for each brave American serviceman lost in battle. Great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head can be enjoyed from certain points, but, bearing in mind the residents, this area is perhaps a better place for introspective gazing.

Also known as Punchbowl Cemetery, this is a Landmark with no admission fee! There are great views of Honolulu and the west side of the island from the lookout point. Make sure you go to the chapel and take a look at the maps made out of mosaic tiles. If you need directions, go to the Office. You can even find the location of a relative or loved one when you type their name into the computer!There are special services on important holidays like Memorial Day and it gets crowded at that time...but it's decorated more with flags and flowers!
I was touring the National Cemetery of the Pacific when I spotted the grave marker of an unknown soldier...a truly humbling experience.
amazingly beautiful cemetery. A wonderful tribute tp our fallen soldiers and beautiful views of Honolulu from here.
Very moving. Make sure to climb the stairs to see the exhibets at the top.
