"Don't ask your questions to the wall..."

@xvz: I couldn't help but actually reply for myself haha

Dia de Muertos has something similar to that! We offer things on a family altar (ofendra) - things that they used to like before their passing as well as other stuff!! Common offerings are pan de muertos (a sweet bread), as well as beverages - marigolds are often used on such altars to help guide the dead back to our world, and candles are lit for the same reason too. The reason for food offerings is because it's seen as nourishment for the dead - other common things on ofrendas are photos of the passed on individual(s), sentimental objects, etc!!

I personally have an ofrenda for my passed on cats haha, since I don't know of any family members who have passed >w>;;

This is exactly

The Irish would place the dead upon a table in well living room/dining room. And the family would help prep the body, by washing it themselves. Redressing the body and leaving them there. Then of course a drunken party. It's not as grand as other death rituals, but that doesn't mean they didn't have one.

what you think it is.

ooh i see - i'm curious for food items do you leave it or do you eat it later?

i think we do similar things w food, i think most often it's fruit
i can't remember if you're "supposed" to eat it or not lol but i know that you "can" as long as you've left it up for enough time for them to have eaten it first

a drunken party sounds like a great way to celebrate someone's life - i hope ppl party and celebrate when i go instead of just feeling sad
i'm not sure how i would feel around a body though but the celebration part i can get behind

@xvz: Some people eat the food after a long time, some don't - it depends on the family I think! I personally make enough for me AND the ones who have passed on, since it's..just me celebrating at my house haha

This is exactly

My family has nothing that we do. Give the body to a funeral home. Talk about how cool they were (even if they weren't), and then go home to do nothing. When my father passed we did play all of his favorite music at the funeral home.

what you think it is.

Yeah!! I know some pagans/wiccans/generally witchy people leave offerings of food for their respective deities/entities/etc !!

highlighting some nice things and enjoying their favorites seems like a good way to honor someone
