Raisin pie is still known as leicht (funeral pie). This pie was a favorite at the gathering of family & friends which was held after the funeral services. In fact, raisin pie was rarely served except at these funeral gatherings.
The Big Valley still serve cake & wine at funerals.
Up until World War I, everyone who attended a Pa. Dutch funeral was invited to dinner. These gatherings were known as sees-koocha schpree (sweet cake spree).
