Sun dresses at a funeral?

[mrsmere]

People just do what that want these days funerals, church, school seems it does not matter.

After losing a loved one myself, the last thing I cared about was how someone was dressed! I think we pay to much attention to someones appearance. I would be grateful that someone even came to show respect and that  they cared.

I agree, if a loved one passed away I would be happy to see people coming to pay their respects.  However, I think you should be dressed accordingly to show respect to the deceased and family.  I'm sorry but no shorts, not tshirts with pictures or writings, no loud clothing.  If you don't agree with me, that's fine but that's my opinion and I always dress in dark clothing, pants are fine, and never shorts no matter how hot.

I think it would be nice to show a little respect,   I was a little upset at one of my half sisters when she wore shorts to  my sons funeral then i got to thinking about it, He always teased her about wearing shorts even in the winter,. She is always hot even when i am bundled up for winter. And they were not short shorts but walking shorts and she came straight from work. She was so tore up about our loss i don't think she was thinking when she got there. Even though he was her nephew they were less then a year apart and so close.  So i never said a word and i am glad i did not , She was upset enough about it

It used to be that a man wouldn't walk around with dirty dress shoes - it would always be clean at the very least and shined. Nowadays people are just sloppy.

I've seen people were dance club attire to church and I've seen people look like they came from a walk at the beach show up in church. 

Some people don't know what they don't know, whereas other people just don't care.

They may not be dressing the way you like, but at least they did take the time to pay their respects.  I think it is the feeling and the respect, and the effort to show that count.  NOT how they are dressed.  One of our close friends asked that everyone where colorful island clothes to his funeral.  We all obliged happily, it caused a lo of laughs and conversations..

I never like dress up even going to church so, what ever makes you comfortable to a funeral I say go for it. Your there to say goodbye to a friend or love one, not conduct a fashion show. Any, I don't think the person who'd pass would care what u where wearing, just that u where present at his final moments.

A typical funeral, no, but if it's something unique, like a celebration of life or something...perhaps

[devideddi]

I think black or dull clothing would be proper.

[sak4kat]

Other than two non-denominational funeral I've only been to Catholic ones.  Proper etiquette still applied. Although I have a friend who recently attended a wake and funeral and it was more of a celebration in honor of the young man who was in a auto/train accident.   When I die I hope people are concerned about what to wear.  How to be proper.  But arrive. Rejoice and celebrate my passing and uniting with our God in kingdom heaven.  I want them to be happy and not dwell... but look forward to the time we meet again.

The last funeral I attended I wore a long maxi dress, but it didn't have spaghetti straps or bright colors.  I do think that times have changed because after all they were black in weddings now.

[LaTashaS28]

I guess people dress how they feel

[lmrbean]

I haven't really seen that, but it might depend on where you live, such as in a hot climate. My family recently attended a funeral and my daughter were trying on their dresses to find something that wasn't too short or sexy. Regarding young ladies wearing "club dresses" - they might have been the only black dresses they owned.

Tradition is what is being kicked to the curb. So much is changing.
