Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Actually it's exactly correct in my experience except that the family does usually attend the viewing. If you have a different answer, why not share and actually be helpful instead of a pointless three-word post that doesn't answer OP's question at all?
A wake, or viewing, is held at the funeral home typically the night before the funeral. If it's a catholic funeral, the time for eulogies will likely be at a reception after the service because most priests don't permit them during the mass.
