I thought these things only happened at wakes over there. Or is only Irish wakes?

Now I COULD see this happening in Chicago.

I have news for you - they don't use bread knives in Chicago.

I can't abide mean drunks. But if the host was playing Taylor Swift, maybe he was justified.

They happen in the UK and Ireland. LOTS of drink at the pub.

They still also allow the casket to be with the families at home (at least that was the case with a friend of mine).

And we saw the casket descend into the ground where we threw dirt on it.

Very different from funerals here (in my experience).
