Discovering ABC's Of Clothes To Wear To A Funeral

Attending a memorial service is often a stressful event. Selecting the correct funeral clothes can help you to be less stressed while showing your respect for the individual who has passed. The right clothing allow you to be more comfortable at the event and if necessary, focus on your own grief.

Women are well served with black clothing for this occasion. A black suit or dress is very versatile. In addition, either option can be both dressy and conservative. The color speaks of your honoring the individual. Loud and splashy colors are out for funerals. Grey or navy blue are also good options if you do not want to wear black. Your outfit should cover both your knees and shoulders. Shoes should be conservative and comfortable, especially for the graveside service.

Men should choose a conservative suit. Colors of black, grey or dark blue are the best options. One's shirt should offer a crisp, white color. The tie selected needs to be conservative with jewelry limited to a watch and wedding band. During the colder months, the addition of a dark trench coat is appropriate.

Generally it is best to hire a sitter for younger children, unless the service is for an immediate member of one's family. Teens should use the same approach as adults. Preteen boys may choose a white shirt and tie for the service.

Be sure to bring an umbrella if the service is scheduled out of doors. It is much more comfortable if you are dry. Place an extra handkerchief in your pocket for the day.

Select funeral clothes to show respect for individuals who have passed. Dark clothing is the best choice, with black the preferable color. Appropriate dress can also be comfortable. If there is a chance you will need to stand for an extended period, wear comfortable shoes.
