What men normally wear on funeral?
It's my first time to attend funeral here. I'm thinking of wearing all black shirt, tie, trouser, sock, shoes and suit.
What do you think?
Thanks

too hot for that.. when my dad died, my husband and son just wore black trouser, white shirt with a tie but i noticed that halfway through the mass they took their ties off. and also after the mass we walked to the cemetary which was a little bit far, and they got too hot.. just wear a short sleeved white shirt and formal trousers..

T-shirt and jeans is fine.............If your the deceased,your not really bothered what your wearing.If your looking to show respect however dark suit,matching shoes,white shirt,black tie :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Its a funeral Mrs M,its the UK,of course you wear a tie :xxgrinning--00xx3: I wore a tie at several graduations in Pinas back in march,I wondered why people were staring :Erm:

[Mrs.JMajor]

Ok, where is the funeral ? In pinas or in UK ? obviously if in the UK, you can wear tie, and you see if its in pinas, its unusual, its not common to wear a tie, can be the reason is weather in pinas, how the family classified as...rich, ordinary..

Well, it seems to me its in UK, base on other member's reply lol

[Tawi2]

The funeral is in the uk Mrs M,as he said "Its my first time to attend a funeral HERE" :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Here in the UK, men traditionally wore dark suits, white shirts and black ties. But there is increasingly a growing trend towards dispensing with "mourning" attire - often at the request of the deceased's family in compliance with what their loved one would've wished. Moreover, a funeral service here, is now frequently described as being a 'Thanksgiving and Celebration' of the dead person's life. :Wave: Which, all in all, would seem a less formal way of paying our final respects, yet is seen as an entirely fitting tribute.

Each nation has its own customs, of course. And it is usually the case that what is considered appropriate, will be determined by the environmental and climatic conditions of the country and/or region where the "rites of commemoration" are taking place.

Hello,:)
As a mark of my respect for the deceased I would feel uncomfortable not to wear dark trousers with a white shirt and black tie, no jacket unless it’s cold.

I took the jacket and tie off in the end,people were staring so I thought I had over-dressed for the occassion,I did get a big "Whoooooooooo" from maybe 1500-1700 people sitting in the sports hall :icon_lol: And one of the teachers invited me for a coffee :omg::Rasp:Pity he was a bayot :NoNo:

So is it "here" mean.........UK ???

[Tawi2]

Deductive reasoning says "Here" is UK Mrs M,its his first time to attend a funeral "Here" implies he is a Pinoy in UK :icon_lol:

:xxgrinning--00xx3: Its the small attention to detail,I pegged him as a pinoy straight away :icon_lol:

[jimeve]

maybe he's only got one leg.:Erm:

[Tawi2]

Lateral thinking Jim,he looks to have two in the scuba diving shot but one could have been removed by a shark,could also explain why he used the singular word "Sock" :Erm:

[jimeve]

that explains it then, does he mentions his shoe.

[Tawi2]

No mention of the word shoe Jim :icon_lol: Jim,did your sis in law hear from that conman again?:Erm:

[jimeve]

yes and he asked her for the money, she took my advice and told him to get lost. she was suspicious thats why she contacted me.

[Tawi2]

Lucky escape for her :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[jimeve]

yeah, I hope no one gets caught out, specially poor Filipinos. thats one reason I put it on this forum.
