The only time I (begrudingly) think it's fair to say it makes a difference is when the chief mourner has such strong feelings on the matter that it would be cruel to wind them up on such a difficult day. And I must admit that I find people's efforts to look their best for funerals quite touching. It's a way of respecting the deceased/mourners -- these things can be so subtle and ritualistic. Dressing up is a ritual.

well what i am wearing today says i am off to a funeral. it also says i have a great deal of respect for the person who funeral it will be ....what would you go to a funeral in jumbo the last funeral i attended was my dad's, nine years ago, and i wore a long sleeved flannel shirt over my tshirt. and of course, i wore jeans and tennis shoes I find your attire to your dad's funeral just as touching, because you went as yourself, true to yourself, not altered for appearance's sake.

Funerals are an ordeal to be got through. It is one's duty to be as uncomfortable as one can - anyway, if you are sitting on a hard bench with something too tight around your neck or waist and a jacket you can't move in, it takes your mind off the fact that you really want to bawl your eyes out. I'm told my OH not to bother with a funeral when I go; they are just too stressy for everyone left behind.

A 'good funeral' is one where the deceased has died of natural causes after a long and full life. Funerals always end up like a Mike Leigh film, with drunken confessions and family traumas. In some ways they are even better than weddings, being shorter and over by teatime.

i don't know about the shorter. i've been to after funeral parties that lasted all night. you're right though. by the time the person is buried, everyone else is well on their way to getting wasted

I was thinking the same thing, Jim. Have known post burial get-togethers to last 'til the next day - at least - depending on whether the bereaved family is Irish.

I guess that hauling your tackle up with shoulder straps doesn't make for a relaxed expression either.
