Death
Princess Kekaulike started to suffer from what was termed "heart disease", a year after Kalākaua's coronation, and during her illness received a visit from Mother Marianne Cope. She was unable to recover and died at her ʻUlulani residence, in Honolulu, on January 8, 1884.
Her funeral expenses added up to $1,931.36. She was interred in the Kalākaua Crypt at the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii. In her will, she gave her Beretania street residence ʻUlulani, as the site of a proposed maternity home to help Hawaiian mothers, which later became the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children.

“I am the leaves. I am the martyred.
Come unto me with death for I am the siren.
I am forty young girls in green shells....””
