Funeral Attire
For context (and not wanting to be maudlin about it), both my family and my wife's family have many members in poor health in their 70s-90s and we're likely days away from one funeral with a fair chance of a second not long after that. In the next five years it's likely we will have several more. It has been a couple decades since I have had to attend a funeral, and so I really don't know what the norm is these days as far as wearing black or not. I also have two young girls; should I be buying black dresses for them? I have an ink blue suit... should I be buying a full on black one? Does it make a difference if it's a church funeral vs. a non-church funeral home kind of place?
Advice and comments about your recent experiences would be helpful, thanks.
