My
name is Travis Johnson. I grew up in Long Beach, California. I graduated from
Cabrillo High School with High Honor’s. During my High School years I
did a lot of volunteer service through the downtown Long Beach YMCA Youth Institute
where I would participated in community events. I attended the Cypress College
Mortuary Science program in Cypress, California and have passed the International
Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards exam. I am the Apprentice Embalmer
here at A Hui Hou Crematory and Funeral Home. I love working here because I
am able to help families at their most critical time of need. I believe everyone
should have the right or at least the opportunity to view their loved ones for
a proper farewell into the afterlife.
Aloha, my name is S. Mapuana Bee-Kahanu. I was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1955. When I was a year old we moved to Honolulu, Hawaii where my dad is originally from. I married Benjamin Kahanu in 1974 and together we have four children. We have been blessed to have four grand children, also. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have always wanted to serve others in the funeral industry. It's humbling to help those who have lost a friend or a family member. I help out in the office and at services for A Hui Hou.
I Believe:
"Service to others is one of the most important characteristics of a deciple of Jesus Christ. A deciple is willing to bear other people's burdens and to comfort those who need comfort. Often heavenly Father will meet the needs of others through you."
Hi, my name is K. C. Candelario. I help
out with services or in the office as needed. I am married to my husband Larry
for 20 years and have three children; Kainoa 19, Kaimana 18, and Kaulana 15.
They are siblings but all of
them completely different in so many ways. We attend Kona Church of the Nazarene.
I love God with my whole heart. I am passionate about helping people in their
time of need, especially during the loss of a loved one. I enjoy going to the
movies and the beach and taking naps.
