  1. What Is Good Funeral Etiquette? Funerals, especially unexpected ones, can be difficult to decipher for families (or relatives) of the bereaved and friends alike.

  2. Here are some suggestions for those at a loss as to how to react: Attire Conduct Words Mobile devices Contributions

  3. Attire The appropriate dress code might vary from funeral to funeral, but in general, something that does not intend to draw attraction (or take it away from families of the bereaved) would serve as a guide. If still unsure, opt for a conservative outfit as the safest bet. Keep in mind that most funerals tend to be formal affairs.

  4. Conduct Since not all family members of the bereaved would personally know each and every guest that attends, offer a brief introduction (but not too long that others are kept waiting) as a form of courtesy, upon arrival. Avoiding the front row sections (to make room for families, relatives and close friends of the bereaved) is also a thoughtful move. This would also make arrivals of latecomers less obvious, although reaching early or at least in time for the service is preferred.

  5. Words While there is a natural need to offer words of comfort to families of the bereaved, uttering some of the more common aphorisms, like “it’s probably for the best”, can be viewed as being insensitive. Words can also be expressed in writing when signing the condolence book that AGBC offers as part of its funeral packages. An additional option to providing words of sympathy would be to write of how news of the bereavement was discovered.

  6. Mobile devices It might be common knowledge that selfies at funerals are disrespectful. However, if used correctly, photos or videos can be encouraging to their viewers, what with the recent addition of paid geofilters for funerals and increasingly common tribute videos (or recordings of the service itself). In a nutshell, taking photos or videos at a service can serve as a visual record for honouring the bereaved as well as everyone else who attended the service.
