Tips Of Selecting Clothes To Wear To A Funeral

When preparing to attend a memorial service, one should choose conservative clothing. The funeral clothes you wear reflect your sense of respect for the friend or loved one. Selecting the appropriate clothing ensures you are comfortable and allows you to focus on the time of remembrance.

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.

For men, a conservative suit is the best choice. Black, dark blue or grey offer the best color choices. Shirts should be crisp and have a white color. Your tie should be conservative and jewelry limited to your wedding band and a watch. In the winter, consider adding a dark trench coat.

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.
