To be dressed appropriately is a sign of respect towards the deceased and family members.
A funeral is a painful ceremony which doesn’t allow you to think much about what to wear. The only thing you have to think about is “where is my dress suit?”
But if the funeral service is very formal then I suggest that you follow my advice. Take a shower and shave. Then wear a white shirt and black tie (although the color doesn’t make much difference) with a dark suit. You should also wear black shoes and socks.
You may be thinking, “What can I wear if I don’t have any black suit?” Try to find other dark colors, like dark blue, brown or charcoal gray.
Try to be as modest as you can at the funeral. Don’t speak too loud, and don’t try to be the center of attention because people are not there to see you.
For my grandmother’s funeral some people showed up wearing boots and sportswear. I also remember a boy wearing a light blue T-shirt and cap. It was such disrespect towards all those who honored and loved my grandmother.
So, be careful when choosing what to wear on such occasions. Don’t forget that it’s not a place for entertainment and fun. People are in mourning and their sorrow makes them very sensitive and emotional. Any wrong approach made by you can hurt their feelings or change their opinion about you.
All you need to do is find a dark dress suit and keep yourself somber as well as polite. Everyone will appreciate it.
