I understand that when a baby is born in a Jewish community..local family and friends have what seems like a 'mock' funeral scenario..mourning, crying and such as to recognize the future trials and sufferings that child will go through as it grows. However, when that child grows up and dies, then a real celebration/party is given because they recognize that they are now with GOD, their Creator and all of our tragedies are over and they are at rest.
