The wake's I've been to usually had drinking. They usually had celebrating and joyful music too, to celebrate the life of the person lost. Usually I think of funerals and memorials as the more formal non drinking affairs.
Sounds like your girlfriend was planning the white trash version of an Irish wake.

She may be from a different culture. In many cultures, a wake is a celebration. Don't peg her as insensitive or an alcoholic without knowing the whole story
That is ******* messed up. You need to find a new girlfriend who actually supports you. Sorry about your mother, OP.

Sorry for the loss OP but if your mom liked beer it is considered a honor to have a 12 pack on her grave but only if she liked beer if not your girlfriend is a total bitch
If it's an Irish Wake, it's not disrespectful. Beer, wine, and liquor are always present. It's called a celebration of life, not an alcohol problem. She probably jumped to conclusions before getting the facts. Stop being so harsh on her
