Sounds like a real Irish wake.

I may request the same when I croak.

Yes.

I heard a radio person of Irish descent discussing this soon after it happened.. This was apparently something that was done frequently in the old days Ireland.

Not my taste, but if someone wants to do it, I have no problem with it. But they should have told the nightclub ahead of time, and told the attendees what would take place.

(I think the whole thing of embalming and burying people is kind of barbaric - but what’s the difference if he’s standing up, or lying in a coffin?)
