I saw a FB post about a memorial service for an acquaintance.  I quickly called a close friend who was closer to him to see if she knew.  Luckily, she already did and it turns out he had died months ago.

This summer, I went to a memorial for an in-law who had died in the spring.

In both cases, as far as I know, there was no funeral.  Is it typical to have a memorial quite a bit of time after a person passes away if there is no funeral?
