    Depends on the culture. In Buddhist cultures, the family usually wears white because it is the colour for grieving. Judaism calls for conservative dress in dark colors to show respect. So, as you can see, you've asked an unanswerable question!

    As for how appropriate it is to wear white to a funeral - In America, the tradition is to wear black. But since America is supposed to be representative of ALL cultures, I don't see a problem with white.

    The whole idea behind a funeral is to pay your last respects to the person who has passed. If you believe this color choice reflects your respect of that person, then go for it!

    • Good summary. It does finally all depend on the nature of the particular living and dead involved.

    • LESSONS FROM GOD : WEARING LIGHT COLOURED CLOTHES WHY

      BENEFITS OF Wearing white or light coloured clothes

      Around us are many Around us are many dimensions

      One reason for wearing white is the spirits do not like attaching to
      white AREAS!

      They prefer to attach to people wearing dark colours especially Black.
      In Tradition Tibetans and Indians always wear white at funerals.
      This is because there are many astral entities floating about in funeral parlors, hospitals
      and they attach themselves to the family members who become wearing black clothes
      and become too emotional.
      This allows tears in the aura and they jump in side and attach to these people
      Its now a dangerous trend to wear Black all the time

      It means one is enveloping themselves in a barrier which does not
      allow any goodness to come in.

      Angels normally stay away from people who wear black
      The Crown Chakra (this is the Divine gateway in the Crown of the head for Divine energies to enter) becomes further blocked wearing permanently black hats or turbans.

      Think about this, White reflects all that comes to it. White stands for purity
      (It is not by chance that Hospital staff wear white or that babies traditionally wear white)

      which is why most Gurus wear white----
      WHY imagine being in the presence of
      many devotees who come to the Guru for help for salvation
      They bring their problems with them.
      If the Guru wore Black or dark colours he would absorb all their negativity, and become ill in no time. They also tend to wear Reddish colours as these enhance the Third eye- perception.

      Black absorbs all that comes to it, this also acts as a sponge, Give me your problems I will absorb them (Black)! Wear Black in sunlight and you will roast as the Heat VIBRATIONS absorb easily.
      Hence Black is the most absurd colour for funerals & Hospitals : It attracts all sorts of Dark moods and energies and influences just when you need extra protection and RETAINS all this.

      Experiment wear black and white alternatively SIT with a depressed person and feel what happens to you.

      In certain contrasts Black garments act as a Vacuum cleaner for Bad vibrations This also applies to your walls Dark colours absorb and retain Depressive energies.

      Many women wear black head to Toe this is very dangerous
      They even cover their face and head in Black!

      I asked Babaji for more guidance on this in meditation, I was shown a example where a woman completely enclosed in
      Black clothes is pregnant- Her child in the womb has very little chance of absorbing Purity= The woman is enclosed head to toe in Black this covers the Baby and saturates it with Dark Vibrations. Is it surprising why most of them grow up aggressive ?

      I was in a church and glanced up in the beams of the Church and was shown by Babaji an elemental Spirit waiting to pounce into someone which it did, the receptor never knew what had entered her. Because she had not practised meditation and her Qi energy was blocked and she was wearing the wrong clothing and was over emotional. Poor woman would now be under the influence of an intruder inside her. She would be prescribed anti depression drugs !

      (This one reason Babaji says Practice Attachment and Detachment, Everyone is born and dies.
      And the soul is normally reborn again within the same family.
      Normally about 25 souls are reborn again and again in the same family to work out their Karma )

      Our only attachment should be to God.

      From a spiritual perspective what is the best colour of clothes to wear to a funeral?
      From a spiritual perspective, any sober colour other than black can be worn by relatives and well-wishers in the event of the death of a person. It is preferable to wear lighter colours such as white and pale blue as they are more sattvik/safe. Wearing black attire is common in many societies and cultures, however from a spiritual perspective it is most likely to be detrimental to both the family and the person who has passed away.
