Do You Have To Wear A Black Suit To A Funeral (Help)?

[Benjamin]

I was just wondering. I know it's tradition, but I have no money to buy a black suit, I have a grey one, but I'm worried everyone will think I'm being disrespectful.

What does eveyone think. Please help.

You could wear a clown costume if you like, doesnt really go down too well with the other people there though

And to awnser your question, yes, unless you want to stand out

[NettoSuperstar!]

No it doesnt matter these days aslong as your smart enough and dont go in a death metal t-shirt or summat like that

[MR.K!]

I dont think people will mind. If you have a black tie it wont be as bad, but generaly dark colours are best.

[Fom]

I think you could get away with a grey one.

I'm sure you don't have to, i wore like a dark brown to my Nan's [it looked okay].. but maybe you could wear grey/navy blue too?

[Benjamin]

it's a weird kind of grey. Wait I've worn it before I'll find a pic.

[Benjamin]

here we go, sorry about the rubbish pic, it was the first one I could find on f/book. Obviously I won't be wearing the same shirt and tie.

At my fathers funeral, nobody was allowed to wear depressing colours.
Only bright colours.
It was nice :)
