How To Select Appropriate Clothes For 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.

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.
