There is an endless variety of celebration styles and service options available for you to consider.

By thoroughly planning your loved ones memorial service beforehand,

you can be sure that it will best reflect both your wishes, and those of the deceased.


Here are a few points that describe the difference between a Funeral Service and a Memorial Service.

 

  • The Deceased's coffin is present at a Funeral, however, the Deceased's coffin is absent at a Memorial Service.
  • A cremation urn containing their ashes may be placed in a suitable area that will act as a focal point (usually where the coffin would be placed).
  • The Service can be as long or short as required and focus on being a tribute.
  • A Memorial Service generally takes place after the burial or cremation occurring.
  • Funerals are usually held a short time following death, whereas Memorial Funeral Services could take place weeks, months or on the anniversary of their passing.
  • Much like a Funeral, a Memorial Service celebrates the life of the deceased.
  • Memorials are often held in a non traditional location such as a local park, home garden, community hall or other comfortable gathering places.
  • They are often held when someone had particular ties to a community, as a ritual to help people pay their last respects. 
  • It can include a greater participation by family and friends speaking about the deceased and his or her achievements and contributions to society.
  • If a cremation has been performed, a Memorial Service can be conducted to inter or scatter the cremated remains.
  • Sometimes family will arrange a private family funeral service in a Chapel or Church, and then hold a Memorial Service for other relatives and friends. A Memorial Service can also be immediately held following a private funeral service.
  • As the deceased is not present, a display of photos on boards showing points of the deceased's life. Music can be played or a photo presentation can be shown.
