How long do you stay at a wake?
It’s also up to you to determine how long you’d like to stay. Although it’s customary to stay for an entire funeral, most people don’t stay for the length of a wake. Some people may come in for only 15 minutes. Others may linger for hours. The dress code for a wake is typically more formal than everyday attire but less formal than a funeral. The key is to dress respectfully and avoid anything too flashy or casual. Choosing appropriate wake attire is important.
