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.


Most wakes held in Ohio that I've ever been to take place in a funeral parlor.

The reception takes place after the funeral.

That is where the visitation for the one I'm going to is.



Also...because this is for 3 children this is gonna be a very emotionally charged environment. Also, the parents are divorced and things have gotten really ugly at times between the two of them in the years since the divorce.


If it was the only one I could attend I would, but honestly I feel like I would be intruding in a way there if I went to the visitation. I've never met her children and I know there will be lots of family and people that actually know and were close to the kids.



Also if I went to the visitation...I would be doing so and then going into work all night right after. I don't know if emotionally I could do that.
