Funeral potatoes are a traditional potato hotdish or casserole that originated in the Intermountain West region of the United States. People called this dish funeral potatoes because the casserole is commonly served as a side dish during traditional after-funeral dinners such as those planned by members of Relief Society (an LDS auxiliary organization).
