I wear a full on suit to every funeral I go to. It's a sign of respect for me. I'm not going to change either.
Half the time, folks that don't know me think I work at the funeral home because of how I'm dressed.

Nephew had a grad awards ceremony at a baptist church last Sunday. Several kids in trucker hats with mullets hanging out. And wouldn’t remove them when asked. shite grinds my gears.

Wore a suit to the last funeral I attended. Wore my best AU hoodie to the one before that -- was out of town and had nothing better to wear. I apologized for my attire, but the family member I went to support didn't seem to care.
I certainly didn't care what people wore when I buried my folks.

Add to that people who take selfies with open caskets on their phones during visitation.

I don’t even go to many funerals. Why would I? It’s not like the deceased is going to come to mine.

I was at one last weekend. Most men were in suit in tie, but all had a coat on.

My grandma passed a few years back and an uncle wore jean shorts and grass cutting shoes to the funeral.
I’ve toned done my dress at services to not outdo others so badly.

My best friends dad passed a few years ago. Dude owned his own mechanic business, was damn good. He only work the best Cintas blue work pants and those stripped shirts they have. That's what he was buried in, and if I had shown up in a suit, he would have haunted me.

Went to my mother in law’s funeral in a suit. Only the funeral parlor workers were wearing suits as well.
Lots of country folk, but still.

The days are long going of folks even dressing up, just wearing crocs, wrinkle rags, sweatpants evrywhere.
I even see baws wearing ball caps in funeral homes. What is the deal with guys not taking off their hats while inside a building. The hat was meant for outside wear.

What’s worse? Not dressing up for a funeral or posting on tigerdroppings while at a funeral?
I say it’s a tie. Both disrespectful.

I think part of it has to do with the change in how we do funerals. A lot of people do not do wakes the night before the funerals anymore so it is a much shorter process in general and depending on the person who passed away (if its someone younger), there are more people who are dressed to go to work after.
But if there is a wake, I wear a pair of dress pants and a button down and a coat to the funeral. Older generations wear suits to both, but it depends on where the person is from.
If you go to a funeral for someone who lives in a small community, there are people who dressing up means their best pair of jeans with a collared shirt. I went to a funeral a few years ago when a dude came in with blue jeans and his motorcycle "gang" jacket (I say "gang" because it wasn't like the hells angels or anything, it was pretty much some wanna bes), but it has evolved over the years and it has become much more casual.
Personally, I think we need to go back to being less casual. In all aspects, not just at funerals.

I went to a funeral where a teacher died so most of the people there were teachers.
90% of people were in a tie and jacket or Sunday dress.
Probably depends on who died.

It depends on where you live to me. I went to a funeral in Bogalusa for a friend I went to high school with. Most of those good ole country boys had on jeans and a nice shirt. I didn’t wear a suit but was dressed up…shirt and tie.
