Except for the obvious reason they aren't, wakes can be

[Robert Coats]

I've got one Mrs. Robert and I will attend tomorrow, a teen/car accident. He was the younger brother of the guy my daughter has dated for the past few years. Only met his family once before; this sad event might bring us all a bit closer.

Two years ago, my youngest son's father-in-law was killed in a car accident.

Twist: My daughter is a funeral director, and she handled both their remains and services. Mrs. Robert and I reminded her that she's in that position to be the right person, at the right time, for a family in need, even if it is her family.

Give your girl a hug. That has got to be hard.
