memorial gathering
Service honoring deceased
A memorial gathering is an event where people come together to honor and remember someone who has died.
Less formal than a funeral or memorial service, it may happen at a home, park, or other meaningful location: The family held a small memorial gathering at the beach where he loved to surf.
Such gatherings typically involve sharing memories, stories, and comfort among those who knew the deceased.
