Discovering The Facts Of Appropriate Clothes For 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 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.

Always carry an umbrella for outdoor services. You will be more comfortable when dry if it happens to rain. A conservative hat is appropriate for either a man or woman. Be sure you bring extra handkerchiefs or tissues.

Funeral clothes should show respect for the individual who has passed. They should be black or another dark, conservative color. Dress appropriately yet in comfortable clothing and shoes in case you must stand for a considerable time.
