What To Wear To A Cremation Service

When you are invited to a cremation service in Wernersville, PA, you want to honor the person who passed on and support the family members. However, cremation services are different than funerals, at times. What should you wear? The answer can vary and there are a number of ways in which you can find out what you might want to wear so you can be respectful to the process the family has set up.

Check The Service Style

The first thing you want to do, before you decide what to even think about wearing, is find out what the service style is going to be. If you hear that the service is going to be traditional, going with something on the dark side in a conservative style is the right option. If, instead, you hear that the service is going to be casual, you are going to have other options to consider. With a cremation memorial service, what you should wear is usually going to depend on what the service is going to be like, but how are you going to tell what the service will be like?

Ask The Family

If you want to know what the service will be like, one sure way is to check with the family. You may not want to bother direct family members who might be up to their ears in the planning process as well as in their own grief. But you could perhaps ask a distant cousin or someone who is ‘in the know,’ but perhaps not totally close to the services so they wouldn’t be overwhelmed by more questions.

Call The Funeral Home Holding The Service

When you need to know what to wear, the funeral home is always there to help you with the options. They will likely know what kind of service the family is having and since they have had services like them in the past, they are going to have advice on things that you might want to wear. They are also going to have a read on what the family wants and can offer you recommendations in that way.

Check The Obituary

The family might also have details on the service style in their loved one’s obituary. The obituary will sometimes tell where the service is held and what kind of service they are having. It might even give direction as to what you should wear. For example, they might want to honor their loved one by having everyone wear red, their favorite color. Check the obituary and glean any details you can from that piece.
