Tips For Choosing Funeral Clothes

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.

Unless the service is for their immediate family member, leave younger children with a sitter. If older children and teens attend the service, their clothing should reflect that of the same sex parent. With preteens, the dress can be a little more casual.

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.

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.
