Fitted black jeans with black belt, black blazer, white button up shirt, black dress shoes.
It's so easy to dress nice. Simply wearing a jacket and jeans that fit properly put you in the top 5% of dressers.

But seriously, this. In smaller towns, this is what you will see.
There are communities within communities. For example, if someone passes who lives in a part of an area where most of the folks grew up fishing, crawfishing, working on "the boat", etc there will be a lot of people with jeans and boots on.
You can go to a funeral of someone you know nothing about, stay there for 5 mins and then come out and give a pretty accurate description of the person. Their likely age range, race, class, a small list of likely occupations, etc

I went to a funeral a few weeks ago and wore dress pants and a buttoned up shirt with no jacket on. I was way over dressed.

Going to one tomorrow full suit I’ll probably be the only one there looking like an IBM guy

It's called fricking respect. Most of the women wore nice dresses, usually dark. Not much difference from the past. It was the guys who looked like slobs

Inflation is a motherfricker. People don’t have money for a once a year suit.
Thanks Joe!

Is the drive through funeral home on New Roads still in business?

I only wear dresses or skirts to mass.

I went to a memorial service in Dallas a couple of weekends ago. Most adults were dressed appropriately and almost all the young men were in suits. I left my phone in the car.
I went to one of my kid’s high school graduation last year and wore a full suit and tie. I was one of the very few.

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.
Well said. I agree.
My brother in law is getting married this summer. His father asked me, what are you wearing to the rehearsal dinner? Without hesitation I said a suit (as it should be). He tells me that he has to wear a suit for the wedding and does not feel like wearing it two days in a row. No mindfulness that he is hosting the dinner, that he is meeting the other family, and that he represents the product of his son. I took his statement as a lobbying for me not to wear a suit.

yes you wear decent clothes
no, you do not need new clothes or wear a damn suit
you just dont go looking like a bum. but jeans and tee shirt is more than acceptable attire.

At Black funerals we do…

seems like it would be largely related to the socioeconomic status of the decedent.

wore a suit to the last funeral I attended. It was like 50/50 dressed up but with respect to the person that passed. I could have showed up shirtless and flip flops and they would still appreciate it.
