"Northern Ireland do hold wakes in the family home, especially in rural areas. While often stereotyped as a uniquely Catholic custom on the island, bringing the deceased home for a traditional wake—featuring an open or closed coffin, visits from neighbors, and plenty of tea and food—remains a widespread cultural practice across both main communities."
