Cultural Etiquette in Moments of Grief: 3 Colors You Should Never Wear to a Family Member’s Funeral

  • Dark Navy Blue or Charcoal Grey: Excellent, respectful alternatives if you do not own appropriate solid black clothing.

  • Subdued Earth Tones: Muted olive greens, deep burgundies, or dark browns are generally acceptable as long as the garments are modest and conservative.

  • Ultimately, the goal of funeral attire is to blend in respectfully, allowing the focus of the day to remain entirely on honoring the memory of the person who has passed.
