Ben Chapman, the Honolulu resident who starred as the Gill Man in the 1954 sci-fi horror film, "Creature From the Black Lagoon," will be remembered in a pair of memorial services — one in Honolulu, the other in Hollywood.

The Honolulu service will be at 9 a.m. March 29 at St. Augustine-By-The-Sea Church in Waikiki, with the scattering of his ashes following at 10:30 a.m., according to Merrilee Kazarian, Chapman's longtime companion. Those eager to participate in the outrigger procession should meet at 10:30 a.m. and bring loose flowers.

A second remembrance will be "a very small private scattering ceremony with the remaining ashes in April, at Universal Studio's backlot 'lagoon' where 'CFTBL' was filmed," said Kazarian. She will attend with Benjamin F. Chapman III, Chapman's son.

Chapman appeared widely at sci-fi and collectible shows to discuss his role as the Gill Man, a horror film monster in Universal's black-and-white and 3-D feature.

Chapman died Feb. 21 at Tripler Medical Center.
