    Speaking as a mere man I have refrained from comment so far. However you paint a very vivid picture of what not to wear to a funeral! My only comment would be to be understated and simple with a minimum of visible flesh.


    YM99 As a 'mere man' you have managed to sum it up pretty darn well......."understated & simple with a minimum flesh visible". :T :T
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    I think it must depend on families.

    My dad would always wear his funeral suit to funerals, it was dark colored, not black and heavy material, a good quality suit.

    When he died I just wore a green dress. He had obviously died so couldn't give two hoots what I wore and I couldn't have cared less what people wore to his funeral as long as they turned up if they wanted to and we're greeted all alike and made welcome.

    If people thought green was not right, if just lost my dear dear dad and other people's opinions went out the window.

    Like I say though, other families could be entirely different.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
