Consider Chese Ohoughts by Debbie J. Thompson Owner/Funeral Director/CPC Respectful Attire While there has been a notable shift in everyday dress from more formal to casual wear, it should be noted that a funeral requires respect to be paid to the deceased by wearing appropriate attire that properly suits the occasion. Funeral attendees are highly encouraged to wear clothing that reflects the high regard in which they held the person they are now visiting for the final time. As is the case with other important events such as weddings and graduations, a funeral marks a momentous time in a person's life. Because a funeral specifically commemorates the deceased's final appearance on earth, it is important to dress ina manner that befits the occasion. A funeral is a somber occasion, so it is wise to dress in conservative colors and styles. You don't have to wear all black, but it is acceptable to do so. You will probably want to avoid a bright floral dress or wild print or neon necktie, unless the family of the deceased asks you to. It is also not appropriate to show too much skin To learn about our funeral services, please call us today Our staff is committed to providing your family with the highest quality care and service in your time of need.
