I am a party where the guest of honour cannot attend. I is a gathering held for someone who no longer gathers. I is sombre yet I often ends with stories and laughter. What am I?

Question

Accepted Answer

A Funeral. A funeral is held to mark a death — the guest of honour, the deceased, cannot attend in the usual sense. Funerals are solemn occasions yet often end with a wake where mourners share memories and stories, which frequently produces both tears and laughter.
