After a funeral there will normally be a gathering of people known to the deceased. This is normally sponsored by the immediate family. People recall nice/funny/fond moments from the deceased's life. This is normally accompanied by quantities of alcohol. The 'wake' is so-called because many coffins were dug up in medieval England and were found to have scratches on the inside of the lids. The wake meant people stayed with the corpse for 24 hours after death just in case they 'woke'
