[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 446087, member: 1514"] some of this depends on the actual religion you are. I know my father and his family are catholic and that part of the family tend to do weddings and funerals up very big. I got drunk for the first time at my Uncle David's funeral...lol. Well...at his wake to be exact. See...there is also a difference in what people call the gathering before or after the funeral...down here in the area I am in right now its called a "settin' up". I believe most Irish and Catholics call it a Wake and most others call it a viewing. I could be wrong there and there may be other names for such events. I do know that my step-mom and I were a bit lost in the whole funeral situation. Thankfully my father had done the bulk of the work for us about 15 years ago by purchasing his casket, plot, flowers, etc all in advance. Pat and I just had to do some minor things like picking out songs and bible verses. The Catholic church my father chose had a lovely ladies group that provided small sandwiches, fruit, cookies, coffee, juice and water for the guests. It was all done for a donation. [/QUOTE]
