How do you plan for a 40 day memorial service in the Greek Church?

To plan a 40-day memorial service in the Greek Church, first consult with the priest to schedule the service and understand any specific requirements. Prepare a list of names to be commemorated and arrange for the necessary items, such as candles, flowers, and koliva (a traditional dish made of boiled wheat). Inform family and friends about the service date and gather them for support, ensuring that any customs or traditions are honored during the memorial. Lastly, consider refreshments for after the service to foster community and remembrance.
