Let’s face it attending a funeral can be difficult enough without having to worry what to wear.
Most of us associate funeral attire with something sombre, usually black and conservative.
It’s not unusual for a person who has planned a ‘celebration of life’ funeral to include a dress code in line with the style of ceremony they have chosen and to reflect their personality. I was recently asked to wear a Bristol City scarf to conduct the funeral of a keen Bristol City fan.
If you have been asked to observe a particular dress code then you should really try to do so, as a mark of respect, even if it is something like ‘wear bright yellow’ that you wouldn’t have chosen for yourself.
