It is a celebration of the deceased's life. A ceremony to comemorate their lives. It used to be held in the home with the casket present. Now days it is often a party, held in a local pub. # A watch; a vigil.

# A watch over the body of a deceased person before burial, sometimes accompanied by festivity. Also called viewing.
