If you are wondering about the difference between a funeral and a memorial service, you are not alone! Many of our families ask this question when considering which would be the best choice for them.
Although in recent years, both funerals and memorials have developed their own distinct feel, the main difference is that a funeral service includes the body present, whereas a memorial service does not.
When deciding which would be the most appropriate option for you, consider these three main factors:
Many people find the lower cost and the flexibility of memorials very enticing. On the other hand, some people feel that a traditional funeral offers a certain kind of closure and, as such, may be preferable.
Ultimately, the “right” choice is simply the one that best reflects the person for whom it is being held. Whether you choose funeral or memorial, we are prepared to help you make all the arrangements.
