Generally memorial services at the Kingdom Hall are held for active members of the congregation or their minor children. For a memorial service to be held for a person not fitting that description inside the Kingdom Hall would have to be evaluated by the congregation's elders, as to whether or not it would be appropriate. This would be done in a case by case scenario.

If the funeral takes place in a Kingdom Hall then the following information from 'Our Kingdom Ministry' March '97 may help;
''Who should give the funeral discourse? This is a decision to be made by family members. They may select any baptized brother in good standing. If the body of elders are asked to provide a speaker, they will usually select a capable elder to give a talk based on the Society's outline. Although not eulogizing the deceased, it may be appropriate to call attention to exemplary qualities he or she displayed.''
So probably not.
If it takes place anywhere else then it would be a decision for the family of the deceased.

Funeral service in Jehovah church for a non Jehovah?
If u are asking if a person who is not a Jehovah's Wittness can have a funeral service in a Kingdom Hall (the place Jehovah's Wittnesses worship God or Jehovah) you need to ask the Kingdom Hall in your area. If u go during one of their meetings you can ask someone there. --Edit-- You can often find a contact number for your local congregation in the phone book for your area. Non-Witnesses are always welcome at the Kingdom Hall, and you will be made especially welcome if you are attending a funeral of a loved one who was a Witness. --End Edit--
Can Jehovah witness perform wedding of non Jehovah witness?
No they can't. Unless one of the couple is studying with the Jehovah's Witness and is with a spouse while not married. If the person is truly sure of baptizing as a Jehovah's Witness then the only way to do it is by the person getting married to be able to get baptized as a now Jehovah's Witness and not sin in Jehovah God's eyes.

Not sure if I understand the question correctly but surely any adult Jehovah's Witness or adult non Jehovah's Witness has the right to refuse a blood transfusion. If not then it means that someone else has the right to force a medical procedure on another.
What celebrities are Jehovahs witnesses?
Jehovah's Witnesses have no celebrities. Jehovah's Witnesses do not recognize anyone as celebrities. We consider no one as 'famous'.If non-witnesses consider someone who is one of Jehovah's Witnesses as a celebrity, we would have no knowledge of their views.Perhaps this is where a non-Witness can provide a list of those they consider a celebrity, that also happens to be a Witness. But we could not confirm whether they really are a Witness or not. We keep no such records.
