Or is it like a funeral?

Isn't this called a Bris?

Bris - The rite or ceremony of male circumcision, usually performed on the eighth day of life.

A wake is like a sad party after a funeral. There is food and such and you recount the good ole days all while giving condolences to relatives.

Wake's aren't always sad. I've been to many wakes that were social events - open bars, lots of talking, music being played. It's just done with a casket instead of a disco ball.

Hmmm,..I thought a wake was before the funeral. I've never been to a funeral but I've been to one wake. At least that's what I thought it was and there was no food anywhere. Not that I would eat anyway.

I think anyone can interpret it differently. But, most of the ones I have been to served as the funeral. There was an eulogy, etc.

i thought that a wake was the reception after the funeral.

I think it differs from community to community.

Let the record show I'd also like to DJ at a mass. I'd play Rocking the Casbah and other memorable numbers from the Clash catalogue.
