What would you like to be wearing at your funeral?

[MrShannon385]

for me a suit smart

In my coffin you mean?

Some utterly fabulous sequin ball gown and all my jewellery.

I love you for this question, @MrShannon385 - it’s something I often think about!

Now that I’ve arrived at an advanced age, I’m constantly mindful of building a wardrobe to see me through the time when online shopping might be less accessible for me. So I can confidently say I’m coffin-ready. Including a pair of black suede St Laurent court shoes that are annoyingly insecure to walk in but will be fine for lying in state …

pyjamas. if i’m going to be spending an eternity wearing them, i want to comfy!

A bikini and a false tan! I haven’t got the figure for it anymore but I simply don’t care. I’ve been my happiest when I’ve been lying in a bikini in the sun!!!

Something biodegradable/non toxic if cremated! Think of the environment!

Not having one, direct cremation. They can put me in a potato sack (paper, preferably) for all I care.

Wings.

Anything, I won't know any different lol

Couldn't care less. They'll be burning me anyway.

I've never actually thought about it before, but as soon as I read this comment I just thought YES!

I want to be comfortable.

I'll be dead so I don't care if I'm in a sack tbh.

This is S&B - not AIBU!

You might at least try to enter into the … erm … spirit of the thread!

Real funeral? Meh.

Fake funeral? Obviously a wig, dark glasses and a face mask, so nobody grasses me up!

I'm very much in the "some want to live on in people's hearts, I want to live on in my apartment" camp. If I can be as sprightly as a few nonagenarians I know!

i haven’t thought about that. I know I want to be buried, so that I can feed the worms.

I was was thinking of abandoning a coffin altogether and just go with a shroud. I’ve also read about mushroom coffins that degrade fast and allow your remains to become nutrients much faster.

So maybe I’ll need biodegradable clothes. 100 cotton or wool at least!

I have strong feelings that I want to be buried too. This beautiful skeleton should not be powdered!!

But seriously, I would prefer to become part of the ecosystem than burnt.

I always thought they put ladies in a nightdress (modern equivalent of a shroud, sort of Pearly Gates vibe) until we organized DMIL’s funeral. She’d already decided on a sparkly twinset, set hair and makeup.
I’m going for cremation so something in natural fibers. Maybe a floral cotton sundress, presuming I’m going to a better life in The Good Place…

My wedding dress. Maybe dyed black or purple.

Nothing. Why waste perfectly good clothes?
