SITUATION: A friend of yours has been murdered. His parents do not want to have a memorial service for him. You and other friends of the deceased feel that a service should be held to respectfully celebrate your friend’s life.
QUESTION: Can friends of the deceased organize a memorial service, despite the choice of the immediate family not to do so?
Friends could always celebrate a quiet moment alone with each other or in a group away from the family, so that it would not intrude upon their moment of getting through the grief. I see nothing wrong in celebrating ones life..as long as its respectful.
