Funeral coat

Mine is a black M&S wool coat bought in a sale at a bargain price. Funnily enough whilst having a cull of my wardrobe the other day I looked at it and wondered whether to add to the pile but no it survived.

I haven't worn strictly black to a funeral for years and haven't seen the majority of other mourners doing so either. I would not wear bright colours unless it was requested though.

I have a long navy wool coat which I wear to funerals in the colder months . It was bought as a smart coat for a winter wedding in a church .
I feel that dark grey , navy and maroon/plum are acceptable for funerals .

I have a beautiful dark grey coat, which I wear all the time, and wear to funerals. I also have a soberly patterned dress.

These days dressing in black from top to toe looks a bit overdone, certainly, unless you are a member of the immediate family.

Black is a colour that does not suite me as I have a pasty complexion and I do not want to be confused for the dear departed.

Mine is a very dark purple wool coat. When I go to a funeral I accessorise with a black hat, gloves, boots and bag.
