In my native language (Gujarati) there is a special word for a get together held after someone's death, i.e. બેસણુ – "besnu", typically held between the 2nd to 4th day after death. Is there any word with the same meaning in English?

In the US, we have a "memorial service" that occurs after death and sometimes instead of a funeral. For example, if the deceased is cremated, instead of a funeral service that includes an automobile processional to the cemetery, a memorial service may be scheduled where the family and friends can gather to honor the deceased. It can be very formal with a religious service and music, or just a eulogy and pictures or slideshow of images of the deceased. The memorial service may or may not include a luncheon afterwards.
