Oh boy….I’ve waited ALL morning for my FAV funeral lady’s video.Terrific Tuesday.Terrific video.Love our Special lady…Kari!!!!Thank you for all the education…
Thank you for posting this!!! It always bothers me whenever people confuse the two.
Here’s something to think about are the corporations That run funeral homes Love to use memorial in their name ScI is dignity memorial and Arbor memorials out of Canada
What does it mean if there is a visatation an then a memorial service on the same day ? Does that mean the person was cremated ?
For my friend’s memorial and funeral service, he was present at both.
Love the Stain Glass in this Funeral Home Chapel
It seems there should be a term for “with cremated in remains”. Maybe an “see footnotes” or something. Sorry for my attempt at early morning humor.
I had this confusion a few months ago
Thank you
Love and appreciate your videos
I never knew the difference, thank you so much – you rock!!
We had memorial service for my grandma. Her cremated remains were there. It was beautiful.
We are going to have a celeb of life for my daughter. Been a month
Thankyou for clearing the two terms up.
Kari what the best life insurance a person can get?
Hi sweety
I’m going to correct something. A Catholic funeral is still called a funeral even if the person was cremated. A memorial service (memorial Mass) in the Catholic Church doesn’t have the person there in any form. Sometimes there will be a catafalque present to stand in as the deceased which will be incensed and the normal prayers of absolution will be prayed as if the person were present.
Not to be confused (at least by Kari’s followers) with Committal service at a Veteran’s cemetery. Both casket and cremated remains can be a part of this service, held the day of burial
Awesome video
To me created remains is "present" and thus a funeral. And no body and no created remains is a memorial. Right or wrong. That is my opinion.
Thank you once again, Kari! Always informative, and professional. My fave channel…
