A funeral is for the family. Whatever they want is what is "respectful". I agree with that. Problem is we all live in our little cultural enclaves. (I assume that you notice the ongoing culture war. <g>) So we show up at a funeral dressed appropriately from what we think is expected based on our little world and find out that the family had different ideas. LB mentioned that one announcement specified Aloha attire. I guess we could all start specifying attire when we announce funeral arrangements. Better than than everyone calling the bereaved family just to ask what to wear. When I was growing up, you wore dark suits and black dresses to funerals. Apparently that is Derek's frame of reference as well. Things were certainly easier when there was only one right way to do things. Well, maybe not easier. The bereaved having to deal with running out and buying black dresses in the midst of their grief isn't so easy, either.
