Ticketing for funeral wakes & memorials

RSVP-style ticketing for capacity, never for profit — zero-fee is the only appropriate model.

What this event type demands

Fee structure is half the decision — these are the features that decide the other half.

Free eventsFor genuinely free events the only acceptable booking fee is £0 — and several platforms still charge for free tickets or cap them. Tickts, Eventbrite, Humanitix and Ticket Tailor (within 2,000/yr) issue free tickets free; always check the cap.
