What To Do And What Not To Do When Attending A Wake

By Timothy Sanders


The right words and the right actions do not come easy at a time of loss. Mourners suffering from a beloved's death can be emotionally stressed and painfully depressed. When you're a member or a friend of the bereaved family, you must show the deceased and the bereaved family your respect by making a visitation or attending a wake. Paying a visit for half an hour or for a few minutes informs the bereaved family know that you are always there for support.

You have to be aware of proper wake etiquette when attending a wake. Why? Because you etiquette exposes your personality and your behavioural tendencies. The pointers for proper etiquette when attending a wake are the following:

Wear only dark coloured clothes. Dark colors denote grief, mourning and sorrow, feeling that are perfectly fine when coping with death. Never ever wear something vibrant like red or yellow as these colors denote happiness and joy. You may unintentionally send the message that you are celebrating the idea of death when you wear these inappropriate colors. Also, try to avoid wearing clothing that holds busy patterns.

Don't be loud. Talkative people have to tone down their energy and voice when making a visitation. So are you the typical loud type? Do not forget to tone down your voice when communicating other people. Overwhelming the mourning crowd does not only hurt your reputation, it also gives you a disrespectful personality. Make sure you give due respect to the dead and to the bereaved family.

Pay respect to the bereaved family all the time. That way, if death hits your family, you are certain that the same respect is given to you too as the bereaved.
