What to wear at a hot and humid funeral, US style. But no flip-flops, please.

USA fashion website advice: These days, a sleeveless dress and bare legs is appropriate at most American funerals, especially when it’s a very hot climate. Consider a lightweight cardigan if there’s a service inside the house of worship and a hat to protect yourself from the sun at the grave site. If your shoulders are bared, your neckline should be very modest, the fit not too tight, and the hemline at the knee.

Reader Comment: One thing that set me off at my Dad's funeral was the minister, a woman in her 30s, in flip-flops. She had on a black robe and I imagine she thought since she had that on that her feet didn't matter.

Now there will be those who disapprove of the lack of gravity here, but they would be more surprised at village funerals in Thailand, where rock bands and sexy dancers are the norm, or in Taiwan, where even nude dancing is OK.
