Strange question, but I have a friend starting a funeral home I told him he needed to use Wordpress and use the blog for obituaries and allow people to give condolences using the comment on the blog. Since I don't know much about Wordpress thought I would ask to see which one would be best for him. Any ideas would be appreciated!
It depends on your experience with them both, use what is most comfortable for you. Personally, I've found you can add that type functionality into Joomla without looking too far, and if that's the only hang up I would stick with Joomla. I've used both extensively and I always come back to Joomla, it is a lot easier to deal with than Wordpress, for a lot of reasons. Just my opinion.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
