Native Hawaiian protocol dictated that the body of an ''aliʻi'' could only be moved after midnight following death, and had to be interred on the [[sabbath]].{{sfn|Hodges|1918|pp=39–43}} In accordance with those beliefs, Likelike's body was moved sometime after midnight on February 3 and arrived at [[ʻIolani Palace]] around {{nobreak|2 a.m}}. She was placed on a [[catafalque]] in the throne room, where she lay in state until the following afternoon.<ref name=DailyHeralddeath /> The princess was covered by a satin [[shroud]], with ''[[kāhili]]'' wavers on both sides. A private viewing was provided for the royal family and government dignitaries before a public viewing, and government offices were closed. Likelike's funeral was weeks later, after her body was embalmed and details of the procession were finalized.<ref>{{cite news |title=Lying in State |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85047084/1887-02-04/ed-1/seq-3/ |access-date=May 3, 2020 |work=The Pacific Commercial Advertiser |date=February 4, 1887 |page=3, cols. 3–4}}</ref>

The funeral was held in the throne room on Sunday, February 27. The ''kāhili'' bearers had waved continuously since February 3, and "no hula had marred the solemnity".<ref name="THG18870301" /> Bishop Willis and Rev. Alexander Macintosh conducted daily services during the 24-day period. A large funeral procession followed, whose participants were mostly native Hawaiian.<ref name="THG18870301">{{cite news |title=The Dead Princess |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83025121/1887-03-01/ed-1/seq-1/ |access-date=May 3, 2020 |work=The Hawaiian Gazette |date=March 1, 1887 |page=1, cols. 5–6; 8, col. 4 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310122925/http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83025121/1887-03-01/ed-1/seq-1/ |archive-date=March 10, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> Likelike was buried in the [[Royal Mausoleum (Mauna ʻAla)|Royal Mausoleum at Mauna ʻAla]]. Her coffin was placed at the head of the main [[mausoleum]], in the center of a row of other coffins.{{sfn|Kam|2017|pages=121–126}}{{sfn|Parker|2008|page=39}} Photographers and a sketch artist recorded the event.<ref name="THG18870301" />

Likelike's funeral cost $30,337.54 in [[Hawaiian dollar]]s ({{Inflation|US|30,337.54 |1887|fmt=eq}}), prompting an investigation. The legislative finance committee studied past funeral expenses for Hawaiian royals, and concluded that the costs "are unprecedented in the history of state funerals in this country" and {{nowrap|"[t]here}} was utter recklessness, lawlessness and lack of proper authorization in the expenditures incurred".{{sfn|Kam|2017|pages=125–126}} About $22,000 of the total cost was for clothing the over 1,600 mourners. The committee recommended that the legislature approve a payment of $10,772.71, with the remainder to be paid by the trustees of the king's estate.{{sfn|Kam|2017|pages=125–126}} The previous state funeral, for Queen Dowager Emma in 1885, cost $5,965.98; four years later, the [[Death and two state funerals of Kalākaua|state funeral of Kalākaua]] had greater financial oversight and cost $21,442.{{sfn|Kam|2017|pages=121, 136}}

In a June 24, 1910, ceremony officiated by Likelike's sister, Queen Liliʻuokalani, the remains of the deceased members of the Kalākaua dynasty were transferred to the underground [[List of burials at the Royal Mausoleum (Mauna ʻAla)|Kalākaua Crypt]] after the main mausoleum was converted into a chapel.{{sfn|Parker|2008|pages=15, 39}}{{sfn|The Hawaiian Gazette|1910}} The niche bearing her remains, inscribed "H.R.H. Like Like | Born 1835–Died 1887", is next to the niches for her daughter Kaʻiulani and Cleghorn (who died shortly after the crypt was completed).{{sfn|Kam|2017|pages=139–143, 156–157, 194}}
