The following are some names whose identities or which tombs they are interred in are not known for sure. The men are identified by a (k) for kāne (Hawaiian for "male" or "man"), and the women by a (w) for wahine (H: female or woman).

  • Kamānele (w, 1814–1834), fiancée of Kamehameha III.
  • AlapaÊ»i (w), probably Julia AlapaÊ»i, the wife of Keoni Ana.
  • NaÊ»ea (k), probably George NaÊ»ea, the biological father of Queen Emma.
  • KaÊ»eo (k), probably Joshua KaÊ»eo, uncle of Queen Emma.
  • KepoÊ»okawelo (n), unknown
  • Nueu or Nunu (k), brother of Kaleioku, high priest of Lono.
  • Kakohe (k), brother of Kaleioku, high priest of Lono, advisor of Ê»Umi-a-LÄ«loa.
  • KapiÊ»olani I, but other sources says she is still buried in the plot at Pohukaina.
  • HaÊ»alilio, but other sources says he is still at Pohukaina or buried in a neglected grave in the KawaiahaÊ»o Cemetery.
  • Two basketry kāʻai containing the Ê»iwi (bones) of LÄ«loa and Lonoikamakahiki the only discernible remains rescued from Hale O Keawe and Hale O LÄ«loa by Queen KaÊ»ahumanu and later transported to OÊ»ahu by King Kamehameha IV. These remains were later transferred to the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum on the authorization of Prince KÅ«hiō.
  • A bundle of bones wrapped in kapa and red silk with King Kalākaua's signet ring. These were once thought to be the remains of Kamehameha I. Last mentioned in 1918 as still remaining in the main chapel by Bill MaiÊ»oho.
  • The other remains of 23 kings of chiefs rescued from Hale O Keawe and Hale O LÄ«loa were placed in two caskets containing the Ê»iwi (bones) of Keohokuma, Okua, Umioopa, Keaweluaole, Keaweakapeleaumoku, Kuaialii, Kaaloa, Lonoakolii, Kaleioku, Kalaimamahu, and Kaoleioku in one coffin, and in another coffin are the remains of Keawe, Kumukoa, Lonoikahaupu, Huikihe, Kekoamano, Keaweakanuha, Niula, Kowaiululani, Lonoamoana, Lonohonuakini, Ahaula, Okanaloaikaiwilewa. These names are undiscernible in their original forms and historians speculate they may be KeaweʻīkekahialiÊ»iokamoku, his father and sons, Lonoikahaupu, KalaniʻōpuÊ»u, KaʻōleiokÅ«, and KalaÊ»imamahu. No sources stated they were moved to the Royal Mausoleum from Pohukaina so according to historian John F. G. Stokes, they are still buried at Pohukaina.
