Remnants of earthen ovens (above) indicate that some 12th- and 13th-century cultures in Argentina and Brazil built elaborate celebration sites at their cemeteries. Complete with feasting and drinking grounds similar to modern-day barbecue pits, the party sites imply that the Jê people had complex social and political structures, according to a December 2008 study.

You just can’t trust the hired help to keep the place clean before the next party.
I can’t decide if it’s the folks we hire, or the ones we invite. Which is it?
In the meantime we'll stick to the old stand-by:
And last year we had a nice 8x10 of the decedent, on the table with him, like a wake.
This tradition goes on to this day. Go to any cemetary where alot of Latinos are buried and you will see mucho la familia hanging out.
What was for dinner?
Or do I want to know?
While stationed in Korea I observed the burial practice they used and it was the same inwhich you have describe in your article.
This was in 1965, have no idea if it has changed? Plenty of alcohol and food on and around the grave.
oh, I thought that was an Asian custom....
Here in the Philippines, we go to cemetaries and clean up the site and often have a picnic...usually on Nov 1 or on the anniversary of the death, after attending mass....
On November 1, everyone goes out. The vendors sell candles, snacks, drinks, scubbing brushes, and toys to keep the kids occupied while the adults are cleaning and praying...it’s against the law to sell beer in the cemetaries, but some people bring their own...
I understand that the Chinese do the same thing.
