See, this is why historically when people die, you have a wake. It's a wake, because it's literally held just in case the "dead" person wakes up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony)

quote:

While the modern usage of the verb "wake" is "become or stay alert", a "wake" for the dead harks back to the antiquated "watch" or "guard" sense. This is contrary to the misconception that people at a wake are waiting in case the deceased should "wake up."[2]
