[quote=Anonymous]Services can vary, based on religion, region, and ethnic backgrounds of the deceased and their family. Typically the funeral home handles all the arrangements with the family. It's common to have a "wake" or visiting hours for one or two days, at set times, where the body is in the room at the funeral home. The casket may be open or closed. Food is not served at this time. My family is catholic, so we have the wake for a day or two, and then the next day a funeral mass and burial. Typically we do a luncheon after the burial for family and friends. At this point, some people might do food at home. This is how we do it, but like I said, traditions do vary greatly around the country. [/quote]
