A wake table was used in traditional Irish wakes. The body of the deceased was laid out upon, or sometimes under the table, with the mourners surrounding it, either seated or standing or both. The idea was to protect the body from being snatched by evil spirits. Generally speaking the wake was synonmous with the consumption of large quantities of other kinds of spirits, although whether evil or not I leave to the reader to decide for him/herself.
