Wear whatever you like.The family will probably wear darker colors out of respect.Shoes just need to match your clothes.If you have sent condolences no more flowers are needed.Thanks for even caring about a co-worker,so many don't any more.
Reply:It's more important that you go at all, clothing is secondary. It is truly appreciated by the family. Subdued colors/darker colors are fine. We are getting away from wearing black. If your sandals go with your outfit, I don't see a problem. Wearing stockings as someone else suggested would dress up your outfit.

At my brother-in-law's funeral, his friends came in jeans, sweatshirts, sneakers ect. We were glad they came. We didn't care what they wore, only that they were there.



Do not bring flowers. Flowers are sent to the funeral home. Your employer may be sending some, and or you could join your coworkers in sending some. You may bring or mail a card, if you wish. Sometimes families will request donations to a charity in the person's name.
Reply:If you know any of her family, ask them for their wishes, or if they know what your co workers wishes are.



If not, maybe a word with the funeral director.

He should be able to find out the family`s wishes.



If there is an obituary notice in your local newspaper from the family giving funeral details, the information you need may be included.
Reply:Doesn't have to be black- could be brown or navy, or even any other dark colors, and clearly nothing red or neon yellow. If you wear sandals I'd wear stockings- barefoot would be too casual, even if no one really noticed. I wouldn't bring flowers, though you could have something sent to the house after the fact, just as an acknowledgment of your compassion.
Reply:It depends on the religion and in what country the funeral is.



In the West - Christian funeral - wear black or navy blue



In Asia - Buddhist funeral wear something that has not been dyed ... like a sack.



Muslim funeral just wear white ... no colour



You can wear running shoes with the latter.



Do not bring flowers.

Just bring your condolences.

Reply:First of all the thought of even wearing sonethin special for a funeralmmmsomehow marrs the whole issue/defeats the whole cause of some humans funeral attendance. THE MAIN thing that matters at funerals are THE FEELINGS, THOUGHTS , GRIEVIENCE etc.. if a person is genuine in his feelings %26amp; emotions, etc. SO all THAT U NEED TO WEAR IS THE REFLECTION OF your genuine feelings ON YOUR FACE,,,,clothes matter mext to NIL for a GENUINE MOANER.....Ots not a fancy dress,,,,so wear what u feel lihe, BUT do not just attend a funeral out of compulsion. ! THAT's of course , MY PERSONAL OPINION. Rock'y Hottmale.
Reply:Something dark would be appropriate, but really as long as it is something less garish than a clown costume nobody is really going to care what YOU are wearing. Don't bring a flower.
