i think people should wear yellow out of respect..black is morbid and says you think they have gone into oblivion..yellow says their spirit lives on

 

tradition is brainwashing

 

good point

 

Yeah, who says you gotta wear black at a funeral? Wear whatever you wana wear.

 

see thats how tradition mesess with the brain...cos your gonna love and respect the person whose funeral it is anyway if ya there, right..

 

yesh thats very true, i shal lwear all the colours of the rainbow, even if i do stick out a bit lolz thanks guyz 4 opening my eyes

 

i just hope others are open minded enough to accept the change

 

hmm, i think my grandma might be a bit annoyed but it shant matter

 

whose funeral is it? your grandad or something/

 

not necessarily. My great aunt passed away before the summer, and her grandaghters and daughter in law (wore black) were just awful the whole time. It sucks, becuase she was a truly amazing woman who I love and respect almost more than anyone else I've ever met.

So anyway, it doesn't matter really if you wear black, as long you're there out of respect and love for the soul who has passed on. Wear something comfortable (obviously, nothing worse than being sad and uncomfortable at the same time!) and nothing revealing, something respectful and you should be fine. To my great aunt's funeral I wore an earthtoned skirt that hits mid-calf and simple black top, just for idea's sake.

 

its my great nanas funeral she was 96 so she had a good innings

 

that is a good run!

 

certainly is, but in a way i dont hope i get that old because she couldnt walk or see, she had really poor hearing and had lost most of her marbles and sometimes it was sad to watch her and it did upset me when she didnt even recognise me. but we loved her anyway and i think 96 was a good run. lolz

 

i wonder what it would be like to be that way...
well i hope its a lovely ceremony

 

thanks im sure it will be xxxxxx

 

to my dads funeral i wore black flares and a sparkley 5 shades-o-blue v-neck top. i went with the idea that i should wear what he liked to see me in.

 

thats soo cool

 

Does this seem twisted to anyone else?

Don't go to a funeral wearing all the colors of the rainbow, as you put it. A funeral is NOT the place for a fashion statement, it's a time to mourn and grieve and to be RESPECTFUL of other people. If you show up wearing some crazy getup, you will cause unneeded aggravation and confusion in people that are probably upset enough as it is.

Although you may feel it's cramping your style, wear something respectful, toned-down, and somber.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

 

im sure the person whose dead will not mind...and it is def about you...your the one mourning...
