In general, memorial services and funerals are extremely similar and sometimes folks may mistake them for exactly the same thing. Attending a memorial service can feel a little less structured or formal, but that depends on the organizer’s chosen tone of the event. Funerals tend to be structured, formal, and somber events. Whether you decide on a memorial service or a funeral, both events require lots of planning and organization that can easily overwhelm families in mourning. Starting a memorial website is free, takes very little time, and can help you stay organized when it comes to your event planning process.
