re: What is proper Funeral Etiquette?

I'm actually surprised this thread is split about 50/50 on what's more appropriate.. Is this a regional thing?

In south LA, hundreds of people generally attend the visitation/wake. The funeral is a much more intimate and private event attended by only close friends and family.

Must be, I posted almost exactly what you did. The wakes I go to usually have way more people than the funeral and there's usually a spread in the kitchen. It's a very social event.
