Hmm, this seems strange. (Maybe it's not.) My grandfather's wake is at 7:30 AM on Saturday.

Funeral to immediately follow.

I've never heard of a wake that early.

Very sorry for your loss. -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 12:20
I think my aun't in October was 8am followed by the funeral. figure 3 hours for the wake, 3 for the funeral service and burial. Seems about right -- nm - CQ Dec 17, 12:17 1
- then we got rip roaring drunk afterwards. Gotta love the Irish -- nm - CQ Dec 17, 12:20

They don't want any drinking. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 12:15 3
- It could be that it's before the first Mass on Saturday, if it's at a church. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 17, 12:16 2
  - Oh, I can guarantee it's at a church. -- nm - kelly Dec 17, 12:17 1
    - there you go, its probably booked for weddings in the afternoon, or baptisms - Zhu-Zhugeist Dec 17, 12:24

- My mother mentioned that - kelly Dec 17, 12:16
