Kollyva is a Greek dessert which is traditionally eaten after a funeral or a memorial service.

It is made with boiled flour, raisins, sugar, cinnamon as well as other ingredients (e.g. nuts) depending on the region.

Kollyva is prepared by the family of the deceased and is distributed at the church after a memorial service or afterwards at home where the friends and relatives gather.
