A funeral service is a service with the body present and a memorial service is a service without the body present!

The body is present at a funeral service (either open or closed casket.) A memorial service is held without the body present. Typically, a memorial service follows a direct cremation or a direct burial and can be held within days or months of when the person died.

A funeral service is a ceremony that takes place with the body of the deceased present. A memorial service is a ceremony honoring the deceased without the body present.
