Filipino Tradition plays an important role in the Philippine culture.
In Filipino culture tradition, there is usually a time of visitation and mourning for a period of up to a week after
the deceased has passed away, allowing the opportunity for many family members, friends, and acquaintances
to pay their last respects.
Even in this difficult time, the genuine hospitality of the Philippine people shines through.
Meals and snacks are generally provided by the family to each guest, and even those who are not known by the family
are treated as special guests of high honor.
As a way of expressing sympathy and thankfulness for the familys hospitality, flowers, food, and money are often offered
in these Filipino traditions. But in many cases, a funeral lasting for a week can consume all of a familys already meager
finances, but the Filipino culture tradition demands this, and it is expected and not unwelcome in most cases.
Before the burial itself, a wake involving close friends and relatives is performed from the home to the graveyard. Sometimes
Although it is a time of mourning and sadness, the Philippine peoples hospitality and kindness are still displayed brightly.
The Filipino culture tradition of burial is yet another testimony to the unfailing and genuine kindheartedness of the people
of the Philippines.there is a stop at a church on the way. The coffin is carried in a hearse, but all others walk behind in the
procession.
