Choosing what to wear to a funeral can feel daunting, especially if you’ve never attended one before. Traditionally, black clothing is worn, but it’s not a strict requirement. Any dark-coloured suit, dress, or skirt paired with a formal coat and black shoes is a respectful choice.
However, some families may request a particular colour or theme to honour their loved one.
If you’re unsure:
✔️ Check the funeral invitation for any dress code details
✔️ Ask immediate family members for guidance
✔️ Contact the funeral director, who can provide advice on any specific requests
The most important thing is to dress respectfully and with consideration for the occasion. If in doubt, simple and understated attire is always appropriate.
Our compassionate team are here to support you with care and guidance.
