Wakes are the oddest tradition I have seen here. Benque really doesn't have funeral homes as such, so the deceased are laid out in their own homes. But the family rents out a tent and sets it up on the road that runs past their house. They put rocks in the road to block traffic and benches under the tent. The whole setup might be there for two days. No one seems to mind though, and cars just find a different route to their destination.
This is a funny place sometimes.
