The restored tomb of a monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii will receive a blessing.

King William Charles Lunalilo’s tomb on the grounds of the historic Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu will be blessed Monday during a ceremony celebrating its restoration.

Lunalilo was sixth of eight monarchs of the kingdom. He ruled for one year before his death in 1874.

His will established and funded the Lunalilo Home for sick and poor Hawaiians.

Today the home provides elderly care.

Lunalilo Home officials say the tomb restoration got underway in early 2011 and was completed earlier this month.
