  Comments:
It's not really a service, which usually means a religious ceremony. I think it was better as it was. Those xrefs are not really useful or relevant.

  Comments:
See notes on お別れ会。 

Cannot xref unapproved お別れ会[2], so if approved, that will need to be edited.

[expl] differs by excluding pets explicitly (lest it appear as a possible oversight).

"memorial" is more literal here and not euphemistic. Otherwise these terms appear to be used interchangeably. Professional services frequently write お別れ会(偲ぶ会), 
or  お別れ会・偲ぶ会.

GG5. From the n-grams this is by far the most common prenominal use of 偲ぶ.
