The following collection of Irish blessings for funerals can be shared during the time of the deceased celebration. After the funeral, the Irish like to typically head to the pub. Additional traditions include the covering of mirrors, ceasing the time on clocks, and placing candles above the head. The deceased is normally viewed in the best home of the kitchen rather it be the living room or even kitchen. A group of women normally bathe the body and prepare their clothing. When the Irish perform a wake, a window must be immediately opened to allow the spirit to escape and closed no more than two hours later to prevent their return.
