Funeral wear

[mats01_99]

Would it be considered disrespectful if I do not wear a black suit to a funeral. I only have brown or light grey. The funeral is an aunt of mine. I will probably be wearing a dark overcoat considering the time of year.

No it wouldnt

The important thing is being there,not the clothes.

[Blyss]

wear what you like mats, the clothes aint important at all.
like the othe rposter said ..You being there is whats important.

Sounds fine to me ~ the only items I would find disrespectful would be jeans & t shirts..unless of course it was a stipulation of the deceased that everyone should wear them ;o)

I think funerals have changed recently. I have been to ones where the family have asked not to wear black, esoecially when the deceased have been young, so it shows more of a celebration of life. Out of brown or grey I would go with grey. You can always pick up a mega cheap black suit from asda, primark or matalan(I know, but if its not going to be worn often should be fine), if you are gonna feel very self concious about it. I would think its fine.
Hope you arent feeling to down and try and keep your chin up xx

you wear what ever you want,times have changed and as long as its not bright yellow youll be fine.hope it all goes well take care

I largely agree with the above, it's down to individual families what they find acceptable or not. My own family have this black fetish thing and would look down on it, but most of the funerals I've ever been to have all sorts of people dressed all sorts of ways.Ask if there is a dress code if in any doubt, but I'd go with the grey one and i'm sure it'll be fine.

I try to look smart and wear a black tie,but funerals over the last years have become much less formal,even with family in some instances. Your showing respect by your attendance,don't worry

When my mother passed away, we, (the family), made her funeral a celebration of her life, others wore black, their choice, but we didn't.

[joko]

you could always wear a black armband.

or perhaps just buy a black tie.

though I agree with the others that it doesn't matter, just thinking if it makes you feel uncomfotable you could try the above
