I have a funeral to go to on Friday and it's a very Catholic ceremony. It's supposed to be cold and windy all day so I am going to wear a coat. My regular coat is black, but it is at the dry cleaners and wont be ready in time. The only other coat I have is my brand new one that is a bright red coat. I don't know what colors are off limits at funerals, but its a really bright coat!!!

Red, to me, is brazen, daring. Would not wear it to a funeral. Anything flashy that draws attention away from the departed and family probably not a good idea. I am not saying it cannot be done or should not be done, just saying......

Get your black coat from the cleaners and take it back after the funeral. Either that or buy another coat.

Red is never appropriate for a funeral. Perhaps you could ask a friend or family member to lend you a coat for the day?

Your not suppose to stand out in a funeral

If you have enough cash, go shop for a new black coat at a local store, and get it done before Friday. I highly recommend it!

I used to be a funeral director. If it keeps you warm, don't worry about it, it'll be fine. Trust me, I've seen all kinds of things. Once I saw a young guy come in wearing high heels!

red at a funeral is totally tasteless.
