What do you wear to a stone-setting?

I've never been to one before.

The bereaved family are Shomrei Shabbat. I am not, though was brought up that way.

Honestly, you can wear anything. Since there will be prayers and they're religious I guess maybe a longish skirt if you want, but absolutely not necessary. Even the funerals I've been to recently women have been wearing trousers, mostly because cemeteries are often very, very muddy so sturdy shoes are required.

I realise that's not a particularly helpful answer. Sorry!

I have worn the same as I would to a funeral, a suit usually.

I second the advice about shoes. They have to be ones that won't be ruined by the mud.

Thanks. Hadn't thought about mud. Oddly enough, although I have attended funeral services and shivas, the only one I have ever attended graveside was in Israel, where mud was certainly not an issue.

Is it United? I pretty much wear leggings and a tunic so I can wear boots in winter. You’ll have a coat on anyway. Also bring scarf to cover head if married - sometimes I don’t bother but depends on who the mourners are.
