No matter what the religion is, you should always wear a dark color to the service. Black is a little overplayed these days. Try navy blue or a dark plum color. Don't wear red, you don't want to remind anyone of...blood.

What you wear doesn't matter, but it's more respectable if you wear all black. And even if you don't wear black, just wear something super nice.

The service includes the funeral, the wake & the burial.

Sorry to hear about your friends loss, & I hope everything goes well. Your friend needs you a ton right now, so be her shoulder to cry on, and everything else that she needs.

A service is a funeral, yes.



I would suggest wearing a dress, and one that'd obviously be appropriate for this type of occasion. Just a nice, simple outfit. And nothing bright, either. Darker colors ( most people usually wear black ) work.


So maybe go through your closet and look at the choices, and maybe even ask your mother or someone for help who might know what's appropriate and what's not and you can get their opinion.



I hope I helped.

Just wear something simple and black. You're supposed to wear black to any funeral, Catholic or otherwise. Make it nice, but it should be as unnoticeable as possible.

And yes, the service IS the funeral.

The service is also the funeral Mass. Mass is just a little different from Protestant services as there are times when participants kneel. Visitors usually sit when this happens.
Don't wear bright colors, and I would advise you to wear a dress if possible. A dress in a darker color (but not black) is appropriate.

It's so important to be supportive of your friend right now. Good luck. gigi
