[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A viewing is when you go to the funeral home to see the deceased in the coffin. Not sure if the family will be there… The wake is usually at the family's home, following the funeral. The funeral is when most people gather and people come up to deliver eulogies for the deceased.[/quote] Wrong, wrong, wrong.[/quote] 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?[/quote] 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. [/quote] I delivered my grandmother's eulogy and it was indeed during the Mass.[/quote] I did my Dad's at the church, but it was right after the actuàl mass. I think the priest did the closing prayer after I spoke. [/quote]
