A class action suit has been filed against Hawaii’s largest funeral services business:
The suit was filed against RightStar, its officers and former trustees.
RightStar owns and operates Valley of the Temples on Oahu, Kona and Homelani Memorial on the Big Island and Maui Memorial.
Among its trustees is former Gov. John Waihee.
The suit alleges the company violated state law and their trust duties by withdrawing over $9 million from customer trust fund accounts since 2002.
Late last year, the state also filed suit against RightStar, saying millions of dollars in trust funds are not accounted for.
