Asking what a "tasteful splash of colour" is for funeral attire?

[Mycatstolemylunch]

Apologies if this is very obvious but this is the 3rd funeral I've been to and this has never been requested before.

I currently already own a black, funeral-appropriate dress but I'm not sure how to add a splash of colour. Any ideas on accessories that would be appropriate or would you change dress?

Thanks in advance

I'd go with a colourful scarf from that description.

A scarf? A bright bag / belt / shoes? I’ve never heard of that before, although I have been to a few funerals which requested little to no black.

I would maybe add some kind of scarf or a brooch / ribbon.

A scarf (or pashmina) or belt? Possibly shoes, but it might depend on the style.

Is it a specific colour or more a general request?

We asked for this at my Mums funeral and most people wore a bright scarf or tie and DD had a bright red handbag

Feather bowa.

No just kidding. I'd probably wear a bright pair of shoes or handbag.

Shoes, bag, small hat or flower hair pin, scarf, just any of the accessory bits really

I would say a cardigan would be ok too.

Scarf/shoes/belt/handbag/necklace/brooch

Scarf or handbag.

Cardigan or jacket too if the rest is black.

I'd probably wear black trousers/skirt with a coloured or patterned top and then wear a black cardigan or jacket

Why do people have to give dress codes like this? I find them really annoying. Some people just don't want to wear a splash of colour to a funeral.

I wore a scarf when this was requested.

You can't go wrong with a scarf

I wore Black trousers and a red blouse to the last one I went to, my sister had a lovely black dress and wore a blue blazer. Gain asked to wear colour

I wore a chunky necklace in the colour.

I’d go with a colourful scarf

I’m not really one for scarves so I’d probably go for colourful earrings or necklace, maybe a bag

Necklace, ring, nail polish. Handbag.

I wore a bright pink scarf & purple boots to my dad's funeral with black.

A bright scarf, bag, shoes, brooch, hair accessory, cardigan, something like that. Sorry for your loss.

Scarf, cardi, shirt under the shirt if it's the right style, shoes, bag, necklace.

I've been to 4 funerals this year that have requested a colour to be worn (it's been a rough year). I like it, though I did have to borrow a bag for the purple one from a friend.

If it’s too warm to wear a scarf I’ve tied a silk scarf to my handbag before so I’m in keeping with the ‘Please wear something x y z colour’ requests.

A family friend who was a keen cyclist requested that all his friends attended his funeral in their cycling gear. Very colourful.

My Aunty’s wish was no black to be worn at her funeral.

I only want people to come to my funeral if they have nothing better to do. No dress code.
