funeral feast
Post-burial gathering dinner
A funeral feast is a meal shared by mourners after a burial or memorial service.
The gathering serves both practical and social purposes—feeding people who have traveled for the funeral while providing a space for collective grieving and remembrance.
Different cultures have distinct traditions: the Irish wake, the Jewish shiva meal, the Southern repast.
After the burial, everyone gathered at the church hall for the funeral feast.
