    i hope this the right forum for this question. I have to attend a Repose service in the funeral home for my mother in law and close family. Is there an expectation to wear a suit and black tie for this? I will obviously be wearing a suit and tie for the funeral and burial, but not sure what the protocol is for the repose!

    I personally would. The black tie may not be necessary, but I would wear a suit at the least. Put it this way, no one will comment or perceive it negatively if you are the only one wearing a suit, but if you are the only one who is not you might get a bit of a look. Sorry for your loss. RIP.

    If you have a dark suit, and wear one at times, then yes. If you don't own one I would not fret about it, wear something respectful and as formal as you have - you probably have a suitable jacket and trousers. Its very difficult to get clothes at the moment, I don't think anyone is going to take exception if you don't have the formal suit.

    Thanks everyone. It all went well and just wore the suit to funeral. It's all a bit surreal with only 10 in church, but was a nice send off all the same.

    hi friend, try to wear formal dressing before going to funeral because with pant coat and tie everyone look decent and respectful. If you want more suggestion check this website .
