Scott_Williams 🇩🇪🇵🇭 :
In the Philippines, it's common for funerals or wakes to last seven days or more, especially in traditional or rural communities. This practice is deeply rooted in Catholic traditions, cultural customs, and sometimes practical reasons such as waiting for relatives from faraway places to arrive. Many Filipinos are Catholic, and part of the tradition involves praying for the soul of the deceased for nine days—this is known as the novena. As a result, the wake often extends to match this nine-day period, concluding with a special prayer service or mass on the ninth day. Longer wakes also provide enough time for extended family, friends, and members of the community to visit and pay their respects, particularly those traveling from distant areas. Beyond religious observance, these gatherings serve as a way for people to come together, offer comfort, share stories, and show their support to the grieving family. Food is usually served, and in some cases, games like sakla (a local card game) are played as part of the wake tradition. Additionally, longer wakes allow more time for visitors to give financial support, or abuloy, which can help the family manage funeral expenses. However, in urban areas or among families with tighter schedules, shorter wakes—usually lasting three to five days—have become more common though there are also people who follow the principle like the rural. The rise in cremation has also contributed to this shift, making funeral practices more flexible and often more practical for modern lifestyles.

One of the reasons Filipino funeral traditions include long wakes and delayed burials is rooted in ancient beliefs about the aswang—a feared shapeshifting creature in Philippine folklore known for feeding on human flesh, especially fresh corpses. In many rural communities, it was believed that the newly dead were most attractive to aswang, so families would keep vigil over the body for several days to protect it. This practice wasn’t just about mourning—it was also a form of spiritual defense. People would gather to stay awake, light candles, pray, and even place protective objects like garlic, salt, or sharp items near the coffin to keep evil away. The longer the body remained guarded, the less desirable it became to the aswang. Over time, this protective custom blended with Catholic funeral rites, forming the unique, extended Filipino lamay we still observe today.

I’m Filipino and this is the first time I’ve heard about a soul being confused. I always thought it was long to give as many people possible to pay their respects

lyn_cali :
that isnt the reason. what i know is that a wake is held by the family of the deceased for a max of 7 days to raise funds to help the family for the funeral, bcoz during the wake, most visitors come to honor the deceased and at the same time give a voluntary monetary assistance... previously, max # of days for a wake is 3, as i know, but of course, times change.
