Detailed explanation-1: -A funeral is about the body’s final resting place, whilst a celebration of life is about the person’s life. A celebration of life tends not to have the body present, and may take place some time after death. Some people prefer this to a traditional funeral, as it gives them more time to prepare.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Memorial Gathering (or Celebration of Life) can consist of a ceremony or an informal gathering of people who share a common loss, allowing family and friends to honour their loved one who has died in a more personal and non-traditional approach.

Detailed explanation-3: -What does a funeral celebrant do? A celebrant will spend time with the family and friends of the person who died to help make the funeral more personal. They can help you arrange the order of the service then lead it on the day, inviting people to speak and join in hymns or chosen songs.

Detailed explanation-4: -A mortuary is a room or area, often in a hospital, where dead bodies are kept. You can also use the word mortuary to talk about a funeral home. When a person dies in a hospital, his body is usually moved to a mortuary before an autopsy takes place.
