The difference between a prayer service and a funeral is prayer services offers spiritual support for individuals mourning a loss of a loved one and those who seek spiritual guidance and relief. A funeral is an honorary service of the life of a deceased individual.

A memorial service is the gathering of the deceased's family and friends to honor the person who passed away or do religious rituals and ceremonies pertaining to the life of the person who passed away...it is really unnecessary because the dead has literally nothing more to do with the activities of the living ones...therit is that family and friends will do for the memory of the deceased person is no longer of any importance.

Funeral is the rendering of the last glimpse to the remains of the person who passed away.
