That attire is perfectly fine. Conservative suits in darker colors are what is commonly worn by men, both at the Funeral Home and at the Funeral Mass itself.
I’ve never heard anything about this. I would stick with what you’ve already decided to wear - it should be more than acceptable.
I never heard of the before in my life.
but that is a matter of general bad fashion sense for the situation. I think most people frown on ‘loud’ at a funeral.
Did you see “My Big Fat Greek Wedding?” Remember when Toula’s brothers told the groom how to say in Greek, “Let’s go into the house!”? Telling someone to wear red at a funeral would be the equivalent.
Isn’t that just the colour of the priest’s vestments not what the ordinary people wear.
In some Asian cultures, red is considered appropriate, but here, make it dark.
I think red is joyful in most Asian cultures. White is the Asian color for mourning - at least for the Vietnamese with whom I am familiar.
Yes of course. I just noted that the original poster indicated that they were not Catholic. I just wanted them to understand why other colors might be seen in the priests vestments, that not everyone would be in black. Especially the casket which should be covered in white.
I agree. In my experience, the immediate family wears black, but other mourners wear anything “dark” from navy blue, to gray. But I’ve seen immediate family in non-black, and it’s not unusual to see other mourners in light suits, especially in the summer.
You are absolutely right. Thanks.
