Its a wake- The Irish Catholics i know do a viewing 2-3 days before the funeral- the family stands in a receiving line to greet each mourner in person.
I participated in my father in laws- very sad, but gives each mourner a personal touch.
The entire town came to my father in laws- to include the high school basketball team before their game- father in law was a huge supporter of local team
