What to wear to funeral? (long, color, girl, thin)

[Zen88]

A cousin of mine brought his moll to a funeral. She wore a short, black cocktail dress with plenty of cleavage showing. She looked like a cocktail waitress from Las Vegas. If she was still with him, I wonder if she wore it to his funeral.

Unless you are one of the bereaved, most people aren't going to notice what you wear to a funeral, providing it isn't obscene or obviously situationally inappropriate.

this is interesting,,,
the person in the casket doesnt care what you wear,,,its all about the family and showing respect...

years ago i think men and women dressed up a bit more ,,,but i dont think its necessary,, its more important you showed up to pay your respects..


if theres an after funeral gathering,,,,,just give the family some attention and hugs...

I think anything subdued is appropriate, but it is better that you go in pink, if that's all you have, than to stay home because you don't have a black dress.

I'd wear a sleeveless and fitted black sheath dress w/low-heeled matching sandals.

This proves you can't please everybody. Ever.

If a person "brings back" an old thread, it's brought up as a bad thing. But if a person starts a new thread, people tell them that are several threads on the topic already and to do search.

Quite true, and it is never too tiresome to post a reminder!

How about wearing caring and compassion? Jeans and a t-shirt (clean of course) suffice as outer covering if that is all that is available. It's is about feelings, emotions, sense of loss and being sincere in your extension of sympathy.

When my best friend passed we all wore a bit of pink, her favorite color.
