  • I think so just because it is out the norm, and it might raise some eyebrows at the wrong time. Personally, I wouldn't get offended if I know the person really well.
  • Colorful clothing isn't usually an appropriate choice.
  • This is entirely cultural. I have read of cultures (Asian?) where red is the *preferred* color of mourning. So, no, it's not inherently rude. If you have any worries, check with those closest to the deceased and respect their wishes.
  • I dont see how a color could be rude. Funerals is only celebrating life after death. Yes, we moarn this person is not in our lives anymore, but they probably don't want to come back cause they are happier
  • Well. . .let's just say it wouldn't be my FIRST color choice; unless I knew the person who died would have liked for me to!
  • I wouldn't say rude. Some of the other guests may not appreciate it or find it appropriate. However if it is something you think the deceased would have appreciated, then I think it would be a nice gesture to their memory. If it is a personal fashion choice, then I think it may be wise to stick with more traditional colours for the benefit of other guests.
  • It depends on who the funeral is for and how the other attendees would feel. It's like wearing black to a wedding. If you know the deceased would find it amusing/respectful/whatever and you know the other family and friends well enough to gauge their reaction, go for it. Otherwise, you should probably play it safe and go with a more somber color.
  • No, not at all. What if that were that person's only dress-up outfit? It might be wrong to dress provocatively, and maybe not, but no particular color is bad, no.
  • no but if you really believe it to be out of place wear red undies.
  • As long as the red dosen't come from the blood of the person being "planted", than No!
  • Colors used to be considered disrespectful, as though you weren't mourning deeply enough. But things are changing now, as they always do.
  • I don't think it is rude but it can be interpreted by funeral attendees as disrespectful. It is a place of mourning and one doesn't usually equate mourning with the color red in our culture.
  • Well, who died first of all?
