That would explain it, since my family are Catholic. I actually never questioned why we had the evening before, It's the only funeral I've ever been to and assumed it was normal.
The way it was explained to me that the reason Catholics pray a rosary for a dead person is that supposedly it helps the dead person get into Heaven easier/faster.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
