What is Proper Funeral Attire?
16F
The most important person in my life passed away this week, and I plan her funeral if I can get a ride.
She was a teacher I had my freshman year of high school. And I'm not exactly sure what to wear, mostly shoes.
I already plan on going out and finding a black dress to wear. If I can't find an appropriate one, a dress that starts off as a light grey and works it's way down to black with a black cardigan.
Jewlery; I plan on either wearing this long gold/black dream catcher necklace, or a short choker-like silver owl necklace.
Now shoes, I have absolutely no idea. For my grams funeral back in 08, I wore these black converse-looking flats my mom approved of. But flat absolutely tear up the backs of my feet. I was thinking maybe black wedges? I considered heels but I didn't want them going through the dirty and me falling all around.
I always have my toesnails and finger nails painted, and I planned on painting them a very dark, almost black purple.
Any tips, anything I definitely SHOULD NOT wear?
But mainly, I really need help with the shoes. I've only been to two funerals in my life. One when I was like six, and my grams in 08. So I'm clueless.

I am so sorry for your loss. Recently, a classmate of mine passed away. I wore a black skirt, black shirt, and black kitten heels to her funeral. I'm used to walking in heels so I did not have an issue. I'd say go simple with the jewelry. Both pieces sound sort of elaborate, so I would skip them entirely. As for shoes, the wedges would be appropriate for this occasion.

My condolences.
Basically for the dress, you're fine as long as theres no cleavage and its not too short. You might want to wear a cardigan over it to hide your shoulders and what not as well. You definitely shouldnt wear heels because you may have to walk in grass and the heels would dig in. Wedges would probably work. I have a pair of black ballet flats that I wore to a funeral once, but if you don't like flats then that's probably not an option for you. I don't you'll be doing that much walking so I wouldn't worry too much about your feet getting torn up. I don't know what the necklaces look like but a dream catcher necklace sounds a little showy for a funeral. Thats up to you though because I don't know what it looks like.
