Obituaries http Ifirakaufmaroomi Q OBITS from page 100 A: In funeral language, a Memorial Service MARY "MANIA" RAIBER, 78, of West Bloomfield, died Sept. 21, 2004. She was a survivor of Auschwitz. : I noticed in the Detroit News/Free Press Sunday edition, two death notices with Jewish stars (not your Chapel) that referred to a "Memorial Service." How is a Memorial Service different from a funeral service? refers to a service in memory of someone who has died, without the body present. There are times when a Memorial Service is held in this community, when a fitneral and burial have taken place in another city. More often than not, a Memorial Service is held when no burial is taking place. to be honored for vision of recognizing individuals' need to give back to community, and her own local volunteer efforts.
