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).

The kāʻai of Līloa and Lonoikamakahiki
  • Two basketry kāʻai containing the ʻiwi (bones) of Līloa and Lonoikamakahiki the only discernible remains rescued from Hale O Keawe and Hale O Līloa by Queen Kaʻahumanu and later transported to Oʻahu by King Kamehameha IV.[2] These remains were later transferred to the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum on the authorization of Prince Kūhiō.[11][12]
  • 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 Maiʻoho.[11]
  • The other remains of 23 kings of chiefs rescued from Hale O Keawe and Hale O Līloa were placed in two caskets containing the ʻiwi (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 Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku, his father and sons, Lonoikahaupu, Kalaniʻōpuʻu, Kaʻōleiokū, and Kalaʻimamahu.[13][14] 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.[14]
