Elena asked this question about
The Memory Keeper's Daughter:
i don't understand - how did Nora have a memorial for the daughter if there was no body?! How did they explain the missing baby body and why there couldn't be a funeral?! What did Nora think - where did the baby's body go?!
Donna Bond
Memorials are by definition, without a body. A funeral service is when a body is present.
