It's called a repass.
A wake is when you have the body out in the open.
The repass is after the funeral when you all gather together.

A wake is before the funeral. Usually the evening before the funeral. Most call is a reception, just like a wedding. Some call it a family gathering.

Never heard anyone call it anything. The wake is prior to the funeral. The after is just dinner I suppose.

The 'Wake' initially happened before the burial itself, it was a time to make sure the person wasn't going to 'wake up' and was really dead.
