Form of the Funeral Ceremony
There are two main traditions observed:

1. The funeral ceremony traditionally lasts over 49 days -- the first seven being the most important. Prayers are said every seven days for 49 days if the family can afford it. Otherwise, the period can be shortened by three to seven days. Usually, it is the responsibility of the daughters to bear the funeral expenses. The head of the family should be present for at least the first and possibly the second prayer ceremony. The number of ceremonies conducted depends on the financial situation of the family. The head of the family should also be present for the burial or cremation.

2. In the second tradition, the prayer ceremony is held every 10 days: The initial ceremony and three succeeding periods of 10 days until the final burial or cremation.

A funeral is a ceremony for celebrating, sanctifying, or remembering the life of a person who has died. Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember the dead, from interment itself, to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honor. These customs vary widely between cultures, and between religious affiliations within cultures.

the wake/Chinese funeral wake


Explanation:
http://www.chinaculture.org/gb/en_chinaway/2004-03/03/conten...

A Funeral Wake, according to the Collins English Dictionary is:

"V. rouse from sleep, stir up. -n. vigil, watch beside corpse, annual holiday in parts of N England."

Today a funeral wake usually takes place in a funeral home and is also known as a viewing.

This is the moment that friends and family gather together to pay their respects to the deceased and offer their support and condolences to the family before the ceremony of the funeral service, burial or cremation takes place.
