Arrange for Post-Event Activities

Typically after a Funeral or Memorial Service, the community gathers with the surviving family to offer condolences, provide supportive help, and share memories.

This typically occurs at someone's home, but can also take place at a community center, restaurant, or other appropriate event venue.

This can happen right after the service, the next day, or for many days afterwards; certain cultures or religious traditions may specify rules for these types of events.

Regardless of the plan, make sure to finalize the details of these gatherings before publicly announcing the event so that the community knows how to participate.

Typically, it's expected that the community help in someway during these events, whether by bringing goods or offering to help in other ways.

Therefore, include their participation when beginning to plan and organize.
