Meaning of wake service (also called a vigil service) :
A Catholic funeral has several stages: Gathering in the Presence of the Body for a prayer of blessing, a Vigil or Wake Service, usually the evening before the funeral, where the family and community remember the deceased with prayer, Scripture, intercessions, and stories of their life, A Mass of Resurrection for the Deceased, usually with the body present, and a Burial Service where the body or ashes are given their final resting place. The Wake service allows family and friends and acquaintances time to let go of and come to terms with the death of the deceased. It is time where personal stories, important memories, and mementos of the person’s life can be shared. If a eulogy is to be given, it is usually to be done at the wake service rather than funeral liturgy.
