VIEWING AND WAKE

Homework / test English to Spanish Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi I reading this novel by Kathy Reichs:
"Southeners don't attend WAKES. We attend VIEWINGS." I know both are like a funeral, but I know they are different. So how can I translate them into Spanish?
Thank you very much in advance,
cheers

funeral y velorio

La traducción para viewing sería funeral, el que consiste en el entierro o cremación de los restos funebres; por otro lado, el termino wake se refiere al velatorio o velorio del difunto, ceremonia previa al funeral.

velorio/velatorio y vigilia

I would use vigilia for wake and velorio/velatorio for viewing.

Wake: a vigil held over a corpse the night before burial
Funeral: a ceremony at which a dead person is buried or cremated.

In funeral services, a viewing (sometimes called reviewal, funeral visitation or a wake in the United States and Canada) is the time that the family and friends come to see the deceased after they have been prepared by a funeral home. ...

So, as you can see wake/viewing are quite similar. Have a look at this entry:
