Wakes would be held for two nights before the funeral, with alternate hymns and Scripture reading. The Hutterites have an emotional acceptance of death.”

Then, what is the difference between Amish Mennonites and Hutterites?

The Amish specifically are an offshoot of Mennonites that follow the very conservative teachings of Jakob Ammann, who was a Swiss Mennonite, since about 1700 or so.

Can Hutterites leave the colony?

The Colony to Society Association will allow Hutterites who want to leave, whether they're not happy with life or just want to transition to the outside, to do it smoothly. For Hutterites contemplating leaving their colony, they have to do so with nothing but the clothes on their back.
