Sure, many are primarily interested in last respects and viewing of the body- not possibly weather-racked interment ceremony at the cemetery. visiting hours for funerals are always posted in the Newspapers, the traditional hours in Jersey City used to be 2-4 and 7-9 sometimes 2-5-7-9. The second show was always 7-9. You might use the song ( dey Doo Ron Ron as a memory device).
