we plan to attend the funeral tomorrow, and the visiting hours are this afternoon. As a friend of the deceased, as well as close friends to the children, is it proper to wear casual clothes?

This past September my brothers mother passed away, and on the way to the wake we hit a bump and my coffee spilled all over my sweater and pants. Luckily, I had a pair of jeans and a hoodie in the car for afterwards...needless to say everyone eas so grief stricken that most people didn't mind. To be quit honest the only person's opinion I really cared about was my brothers and he said as long as I wasn't in my P.J.s that he could care less. I'm not sure of the reason that you might not want to dress up, but if cost of a new outfit or something is a factor feel free to use my excuse...
So sorry for your loss, my condolences.

Ocean state interest a lot as multiple celebration stuff and it really is cheep! Wow for my eighth birhtdya I had an Hawaiian celebration too! ok properly mabey use authentic of fake coconut cups and fill them with punch for all of us. And make it authentic! Have them accutally attempt the coconut milk. it really is what Hawaiian's used to drink! Get some cheep grass skirts and vegetation for there hair and they could do the hula! Have them use hula hoops for practice. Hears some steps for the reall hula: a million. upward push up and position one arm out to at least one aspect. 2. then take the different arm and produce it over on proper of the different hand/arm. [so once you open it really is like a crocodile mouth.] 3. then take the arm on proper and slowly deliver it up and make a curved shap as your doing it. it really is talked about as the rain bow. the necessary element all of us is familiar with is the hands doing the wave action. it really is talked about as the sea. yet another one is a million. take one arm and produce it infront of you [hand accomplishing the different fringe of you] so it really is as a lot as your chest. the completed arm is. 2 take the arm the position that different hand meets and notwithstanding the elbow on the hand. And with the arm that has the elbow on the hand, shake it. it really is talked about as the palmtree. wish those steps helped! Take some contruction paper and reduce out frames. have the females beautify there own frames with Tropical and Hawaiian stickers. Play bypass the coconut: absolutely everyone sit down's down making a circle and also you bypass the coconut round and one human being [no longer looking] says stop and whoever has the coconut in hand it out. get some cheep ornament fishing internet and dangle it as a lot as mabey save the delivers. Get some darkish eco-friendly cheep tissue paper and rip in thick strips and beautify around the living house and out doorways as sea weed. placed little toy fish eveywere. wish I helped! :) And chuffed Birthday! :)

Trousers, shirt and jacket in any colour should do, but do have a black tie on, and make sure everything is clean and pressed--hair nice etc. Suit is best though, because it shows the deceased family that you are showing respect.

Nice slacks and a classy sweater. Some go for the casual look but I think it's tacky.

I would wear the same type of clothes that you would wear to attend a church service out of respect to the family.

some wear causal clothes.... i guess it really depends on the family....but, i would say just to be on the safe side, to wear something thats kinda dressy, but not too dressy.... like, maybe slacks and a nice shirt... but tomorrow, you should wear youre really dressy attire.... and of course, it should be black.. but its not always necessary unless youre the widow or the children of the deceased... sorry for your loss.. good luck!

Absolutely not!!!
You wear what ever you feel would be you.
The one you will be paying your respects too,would recognise you for who you are.
I went with my tatty leather jacket regardless of what people thought,because the deceased knew me from that and not a suit and tie.
I feel i showed more respect than i would have if i have wore a new suit.

I wouldn't wear anything too casual (sneakers and jeans) or bright colors, but flat shoes, dark pants and a nice shirt are very appropriate.

No. Wear clothes of formality and mourning. Don't stick out with your fabulous jeans or your yellow Banana dress. Wear black, or dark grey.
