Like funerals, it's for the families. The baby or the dead have no idea what's going on.

@zeeva70 interesting viewpoint. Both celebrate the life of the person without them having an input.

@Kerrmit84 However, many people plan at least part of their funerals but are aware of the celebration. Only family and friends are engaged in these rituals.
