Waiola Church and Cemetery in Lāhainā is the site of a historic mission established in 1823 on the island of Maui in Hawaiʻi. Originally called Waineʻe Church until 1953, the cemetery is the final resting place for early members of the royal family of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
In 1894, the church was destroyed by fire and rebuilt, but it was lost again to the 2023 Hawaii wildfires.[2][3][4]
