More Reasons To Purchase Clothes To Wear To A Funeral

Dress for a memorial service should be conservative. The funeral clothes you choose reflect your own respect and recognition that the occasion is to honor your friend or loved one. Choosing the appropriate clothing will ensure you are more comfortable and able to focus on the task at hand.

Black is a good color for everyone. Women do well in either a dress or suit. The dark colors offer versatility while showing one's respect. It can offer a conservative, yet dressy option that speaks of the honor you are paying the individual. One should avoid splashy or loud colors. Grey and navy are good alternatives for those preferring a color other than black. The outfit should cover both the knees and shoulders. Shoes should be conservative as well as comfortable, especially if attending graveside services.

Men do well to choose a conservative suit. Black, grey or dark blue are the best choices in color. Your shirt needs to be crisp with a white collar. Choose a conservative tie and tone down the jewelry to a wedding band and watch. For funerals in the winter, you may add a black or other dark colored 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.

Take an umbrella as services often take place outside. If it rains, you will be more comfortable with the protection offered. Conservative hats are appropriate for both men and women. Do not forget to bring an extra handkerchief or tissues for the service.

Funeral clothes should be selected to show your respect for the person. They should be dark in color, preferably black. You should dress appropriately, yet in an outfit that is comfortable. Wear comfortable shoes for the occasions when you must stand an extended period.
