A group of mourners watched a Copa America soccer match live while sitting next to a relative’s open casket at a family wake.
The deceased, called grandfather Fena, was a great sports fan.
At his wake there were several of his sports trophies and a large poster of him holding aloft a shiny cup.
The sign reads: ‘Uncle Fena, thank you for all the moments you gave us.
“We will always remember you, your Condorian family.”

Next to the open coffin, a projection screen had been placed on the wall.
His funeral took place in Chile on the same day that the national team faced Peru in the Copa América last Friday (June 21).
The images show about 10 mourners engrossed in the live performance next to the open coffin.
Unfortunately for the passionate family and friends, the match ended in a disappointing 0-0 draw.
Four days later, Chile lost its second group match against Argentina 1-0 after a last-gasp goal from Lautaro Martínez.
They now need to win their final match against Canada on Saturday (June 29) to have any chance of advancing in the tournament.
A family member said: “Not even death can separate us, see you soon grandpa.”
Chile has so far struggled in the Copa América, drawing with Peru and then losing to Argentina.

One local said: “At my house, we watched the game as if it were also a funeral.”
Another wrote: “There were also five other people dead in the field.”
Peter commented: ‘You didn’t miss anything my friend, stay dead.’
Oscar lamented: “The game was dead, not a single spark. Anyway, strength, friend.”
Elvira said: ‘What a beautiful video, the deceased is happy, it’s the attitude.’
