A funeral wake is a solemn event where friends and family come to pay their respects to the deceased. It is important to act respectfully and mourn the loss of your loved one. Here are some tips on how to act during a funeral wake: arrive on time and be quiet when entering, pay your respects to the deceased by standing in front of the casket or urn, offer condolences to the bereaved, don't take pictures or use your phone (unless it's an emergency), speak quietly and avoid laughter or loud conversation, and show respect for the religious customs observed.
