In ancient times, when someone died, relatives and friends organized a wake next to the deceased so that he could continue to live as he had done up to that moment. In the peasant world, neighbors brought food and drink to the relatives of the deceased to support them in times of pain and to guarantee them a meal at a time when cooking could be difficult. Regarding the reasons for the celebrations, it must be said that the approach to death, especially in America, is very different from ours. In fact, a sort of party takes place there. In their culture, death is not only a moment of sadness but also an occasion of great joy linked to the fact that the deceased goes to a better dimension than the earthly one. Lunch or brunch with friends therefore becomes a moment of conviviality to remember with a smile the person who is no longer there, eating good food in his honor. Often it is the funeral honors themselves in America that take care of everything, other times relatives and friends take care of bringing ready-made food to the home of the deceased's family to be consumed with background music. eating good food in his honor.
