What is proper funeral attire?

It might depend on the standards of the community you are in.  Years ago, black was the colcor of choice where I lived.  The last few funerals I attended people came dressed in a range of various formal and informal styles and colors.  \n\nSo, unless you've got a wardrobe like Sid Vicious or Brittney Spears, I'd guess that the cleanest and most conservative clothes you have would probably be fine.

Specify "formal attire" on your invitation, and spell it out for them: suit and tie for men, dresses or evening gowns for women.  The reason I'd explain it for them is that "formal" takes on different meanings to different people... I've seen weddings where some immediate family members (i.e. ones that are supposed to appear in the photos after the ceremony) showed up in their very cleanest wife-beater tee shirts and jeans, and wondered why the bride was so upset.

Wear a smart trouser or skirt suit and blouse. You should always dress professionaly no matter what the position you are going for.

I would say wear a white/off white skirt suit (for the bride) or a simple white/off white dress. I would say that a wedding gown is a bit over the top. For the groom, he should wear a nice, dark colored suit like grey or black with a nice tie and nice shoes. Again, a tux is over the top. Congratulations and realize that no matter what you wear, it will be a fantastic day!

Try to follow the tradition of the deceased's religion. It shows your respect for him or her. You might go and combine both colors carefully - e.g. your color of mourning is black, their color is white, wear something white with black accents.

I'm a Registered Nurse, so I've dealt with quite a lot of dead people and their families. Once the doctor declares that a patient is dead, we proceed to remove all medical equipment that's been used to treat the now deceased. This includes IV lines, oxygen masks, Foley catheters, nasogastric or gastrotomy tubes, Penrose drainages, heparin ports, endotracheal tubes, etc. Then the body is disrobed of all clothing it might be wearing, and given a quick sponge bath. Hands are placed on top of the abdomen and tied together; legs are also bound together at the ankles. A long strip of fabric is placed under the jaw and its ends tied in a knot at the top of the head. This is done to prevent the body from being in an awkward position once rigor mortis sets in. ID tags with the deceased's full name, date and time of death are tied to the big toe, and to one of the wrists. The body is then wrapped into a large plastic sheath and another ID tag is taped firmly to the outside of the bundle. It is then placed in the hospital's morgue to await being picked up by the funeral home that the next-of-kin chooses.

first of all, about death.Muslims believe that death is a departure from the life of this world, but not the end of a person's existence. Rather, eternal life is to come, and we pray for God's mercy to be with the departed, in hopes that they may find peace and happiness in the life to come.\n\nand the funerals, when a muslim person dies.A family member arranges the funeral immediatly without delay.The eyes of the deceased should be closed, and the body covered temporarily with a clean sheet. It is forbidden for those in mourning to excessively wail, scream, or thrash about. Grief is normal when one has lost a loved one, and it is natural and permitted to cry.\n\nMuslims strive to bury the deceased as soon as possible after death, avoiding the need for embalming or otherwise disturbing the body of the deceased. An autopsy may be performed, if necessary, but should be done with the utmost respect for the dead\n\nIn preparation for burial, the family or other members of the community will wash and shroud the body. (If the deceased was killed as a martyr, this step is not performed; martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in.) The deceased will be washed respectfully, with clean and scented water, in a manner similar to how Muslims make ablutions for prayer. The body will then be wrapped in sheets of clean, white cloth (called the kafan).\n\nThe deceased is then taken to the cemetery for burial (al-dafin). While all members of the community attend the funeral prayers, only the men of the community accompany the body to the gravesite\nThe deceased is laid in the grave (without a coffin if permitted by local law) on his or her right side, facing Mecca. At the gravesite, it is discouraged for people to erect tombstones, elaborate markers, or put flowers or other momentos. Rather, one should humbly remember Allah and His mercy, and pray for the deceased.\n\nLoved ones and relatives are to observe a 3-day mourning period. Mourning is observed in Islam by increased devotion, receiving visitors and condolences, and avoiding decorative clothing and jewelry. Widows observe an extended mourning period (iddah), 4 months and 10 days long, in accordance with the Qur'an 2:234. During this time, she is not to remarry, move from her home, or wear decorative clothing or jewelry.\n\ni hope this is what you were looking for.Sorry if it was too long

A conservative navy blue or charcoal grey suit, black shoes and socks, conservative tie, white shirt. Keep the suit coat buttoned, and don't call anyone by their first names - use surnames (last names) only.

Usually a dress shirt, dress slacks, and a pair of black casual shoes (read: like loafers and the like) would be considered semi-formal wear.

stop in briefly.\n\n a person sitting Shivah is going though a period of mourning and reflection. They want your support but not a party. \n\nwait for the person to acknowledge you. \n\nbefore you bring food know how strictly they keep kosher. \n\nand like I said before pay your respects and if they do not indicate for you to say longer, dont. It should not take more than 10-20 min\n\npratical advice

I went to a funeral service for a man who was cremated once.  They had the urn on a table with a nice photograph of him with it.  It was a lot like a regular funeral.

Black tie: you can wear a long dress or a short cocktail dress. Sometimes, women even wear smart pants and a very smart evening top.\n\nWhite tie: it has to be a long dress (evening gown) but it doesn't need to be poufy or anything. Just very elegant and dressy, especially since the guys will have to wear tuxes with white ties.

Obviously. What would you wear to a funeral in the summer? Linen espadrilles? The rule applies to white shoes (worn after Memorial Day and before Labour Day).
