Long hair. - up for funeral?

[Ashara]

Hi, just wondering if there’s any funeral etiquette I’m not aware of. Hair is bra strap length, usually worn down. Is it expected that it should be worn up for a funeral? Crematorium not church if that makes any difference. Thanks.

No etiquette. Wear your hair how is right for you.

Respectfully, no one will care what your hair is like.

Wear it as you please.

You can wear your hair however you like. I’m a parish minister who has taken hundreds of funerals over the years. Condolences on your loss.

No, up or down is fine.

Thanks so much everyone. Used to have really short hair and never had to consider it before. Really appreciate you taking the time .

It's OK, friend of mine's family have a family tradition of hawaiian shirts to funerals!!

Up or down is fine.

Sorry for your loss
Wear it the way you are comfortable. I'd just be conscious if it gets in your face and you are constantly pushing it back, or if you are crying/blowing nose and it gets in the way. I also have long hair and would at least tie it back to avoid this happening, but there is no rule about it.

I would suggest how you usually have your hair as you'll feel most comfortable and not distracted by it feeling different. I have long hair too and I've sometimes felt grateful for it "curtaining" my face when I've cried at funerals. I'm not ashamed of crying of course, but I did appreciate the tiny bit of extra privacy it gave me.

Wearing hair up at funerals isn't something that ever occurred to me as the done thing but now you mention it the long haired royals (Kate, Meghan, Sophie) had hair up at the Queens funeral so there might be some sort of etiquette in high society. But for non royals, honestly, no one will give it a moment's thought. In fact I'd be wary that suddenly sporting a smart "up do" that I don't usually have might seem a bit "look at me".

Sorry for your loss. Hope the funeral goes OK and is a comfort to you.

Ive never heard of there being hair etiquette at funerals.

Literally whatever makes you most comfortable.
The only exception I would say is if you are doing a reading or eulogy, it should be off your face so people can see you, but sounds like you are just attending.
