DD. Perpetual care is exclusively a federal regulation with no state implications
Explanation
Hawaii law requires licensed cemetery companies to maintain perpetual care funds to ensure ongoing maintenance. Cemeteries are considered material facts for nearby properties as they can affect desirability and value for some buyers. Hawaiian cultural practices around burial grounds (iwi kupuna/ancestral remains) add another dimension to cemetery-related disclosure considerations.
