At memorial services change your fucking cloths

I just got back from a memorial service. Out of the people that i knew well who showed a few 'tried' to wear something nice. 80% of the guys didn't change anything from their fucking construction work cloths. God dam you motherfuckers our friend is now dead and gone and THE ONLY FUCKING TIME WE GOTTA BE HERE FOR THIS 1 REASON you canT have any fucking decency!! My god if you fuckers knew what was in my head youd be locking your door tonight....

Now i showed none of this anger...but god dammit..you really see who people are when one of their 'friends' dies and you come looking like that.

I was one of the few with a nice shirt and the ONLY one with a tie....

You don't gotta wear a tie...but get out of those fucking cloths jesus

Argh

Show some fucking respect.

 

I always thought it was weird how people associate clothing with respect

those friends who showed up probably respected your friend way more than the nicely dressed undertaker

 

I was going to open this thinking you were going to say the OPPOSITE haha.

But I do agree. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend

I think that for a funeral or service, it is respectful to dress as nicely as possible...it is a somewhat "formal" affair, anyway.

I remember my father's wake, all of the guys he worked with showed up in their work uniforms and dirty clothes-I couldn't be upset, though, since most of them had to drive over an hour to get to the funeral home, so I was just glad they showed up.

But for funerals, definitely wear something nice...outta respect.

 

I'm just someone who cant show up in the same cloths i saw him/her when they were here, because they are not here. Their is to much loyalty, respect, honor, and gratitude towards the person that i have in that ONE hour during service...that its just...i dont know, me and my views on death, wear something nice, look at what is going on, what has happened, and why we are here...change your fucking cloths..

 

When Mom died I was grateful to all that showed up. Some of the caregivers from Mom's nursing home came in work clothes and I was grateful that they cared enough to come. The last thing on my mind was what kind of clothing people were wearing.

 

Most of the funerals I've been to, parents strictly asked everyone to go as casual as they are everyday.

 

Exactly, You Are Not Making A Fashion Statement, You Are

Making A Mark Of Respect To The Deceased....



Cheers Glen.

 

This. Clothing has nothing to do with respect.

I have found that most people actually hide behind clothes.

And sunglasses.

 

Oh didn't you guys know?
Ghosts always come to funerals to see how everyone dressed up and then that way they can haunt you.

 

If they do, wouldn't you think that your friend would want to see you as you always were when they were alive? Instead of being dressed up phony? I think they would prefer to haunt those that did not show up at all.

 

Much As I Would Love To Respond To This Post, Alas I Fear My Excessive Use

Of "Caps" Could Cause You Distress, So I Will Not Post A Response....



Cheers Glen.

 

I honestly think they'd have something better to do than sit around the funeral hall wondering why so and so showed up in a suit.

 

I usually wear my dress uniform from the military.. cause lately those have been those kind of funerals I have been to.. than just civilian funerals. Also do volunteer honor guard stuff.

 

Much Respect To You...



Cheers Glen.

 

i work in a rendering plant. so the people that work directly with the feather meal can really stink, i mean literally can make someone with a weaker stomach ill just by smelling their clothes. and one of the guys went to the bosses fathers funeral in his work clothes.
i dont think people should get dressed up, just wear the nicest casual clothes you have, close family may be an exception there. but really...for the love of god please shower so you dont wake the dead.
