Planning for a Wake Checklist

HERE ARE SOME ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN PLANNING A WAKE. SOME OF THE ITEMS MAY BE INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE PRICE OF SERVICES AT A FUNERAL HOME.

Inform friends and family of the passing of the loved one.

Let the funeral home know when you wish to have the wake.

Display a guest book for people to sign. Have someone prepared to be with the guest book and greet individuals as they arrive.

Gather pictures of the deceased for display. Some pictures may be set in frames or in a collage.

Others may be prepared in a multi-media program.

Bring mementos or other items of importance to the deceased and family.

Plan on being present during the entire time of the wake to greet guests and support the immediate family.

Provide beverages and light snacks for the family and close friends. If the wake is held away from the funeral home and in a less formal setting alcoholic beverages are often accepted.
