Jewellery at a funeral

[Polabowla]

Thank you so much @Polabowla. I still have a hard time believing she’s gone. It happened so fast. Cancer su**s.

It truly does

i feel dressing appropriately is a form of good manners and rudimentary respect. a demonstrative respect for self and others, especially, at a funeral. i'd much rather error on the side of formal and traditional than appear disrespectful and ill mannered

no color. no colored stones.

i agree with it better to being too fornal but if its family or a family friend i wear mum's rings so she can come along (and i only have her coloured stones) but they are very middle NZ and modest by PS standards

if its Gary's family i always wear the pretties shoes that fit on the day because his sister can be in one of those moods where she will pick out my failures

you, definitely, do you, daisy

for me, funerals are usually formal events. how i am dressed demonstrates my respect and regard for the deceased and the deceased's family.

my family, has always held formal funerals. i think it has a great deal to do with culture, family background, social circle, location, etc ...

in op's case, she lost her grandfather. i am glad i was able to helpful to her ... along with the articles i linked

i still have nightmares about going to my friend's sister's funeral in my work clothes
i honestly would not have been surprised if i had been struck by lightening that day sent down from my mother
i would normally wear somber attire
....like an office worker in Wellington
they always look like they are off to a funneral
