When the news arrives, a very practical question often arises, sometimes at the last minute: what should I wear to a funeral? Without wanting to draw attention to myself, I still want to do things properly. And while I might first think of shoes or a coat, the shirt plays a much more important role than I imagine in creating a suitable outfit.
Why does attire matter at a funeral?
A funeral is first and foremost a time for reflection, presence, and support. Without being ostentatious, our appearance conveys a silent message: that of the respect we have for the deceased and their loved ones. An ill-chosen outfit may seem harmless, but it can also create unintentional discomfort.
