I have requested a "memorial service" instead of a "funeral", just to make it clear that if there is going to be any type of formal gathering, it's to allow a group of people who know/knew me to share memories- hence "memorial" service. Anyone who has questions about their own mortality might be sparked by someone's passing, but a funeral is not the correct place to address those questions.
