Is Woodlawn a Catholic cemetery? My maternal grandparents are buried there and my paternal at St. Raymond's. Woodlawn is beautiful, and I'm impressed with its history (that's where Hauptmann first met with Dr. Condon) and the list of famous people buried there.

I went to a wake last month for a guy named Anthony. I have to tell you, I've never seen so many huge flower arrangements in my life! And this is coming from someone whose Uncle Tony repaired the garbage trucks.

As for Vito's, I would have gone to pay my respects, wearing all black, and brought a tray of baked ziti or maybe some pastries by the house for Mama Corleone. Btw, do we know if he had his wake in the compound? I don't think they show you that, although I guess it could have been at Bonasera's funeral parlor.
