What is a repass at a funeral?

A repass at a funeral is a gathering of family and friends immediately following a funeral service or memorial. It is typically a meal or reception held in honor of the deceased and serves as an opportunity for mourners to come together and offer support to one another. The food and drinks served at a repass are often prepared by family and friends or catered by a local restaurant. The repass is a time to remember the person who has passed away, share stories and memories, and offer comfort and solace to those who are grieving.
