Planning for a memorial service at sea occurred in late August and early September. A separate service was held by the San Francisco Women's Club on September 8. Tributes and flowers were loaded onto at the Matson Lines dock on Piers 30 and 32 in San Francisco before it departed for its regular service to Honolulu. On September 16, "Maui" stopped at the spot where the last message was received from the "Dallas Spirit" to spread the flowers and release a floral Bible made by Miss Doran's students. Each of the seven flyers who died was eulogized and Tennyson's poem "Crossing the Bar" was recited.
