Can I wear a hat to a funeral?
Inevitably, during course of our lives, we may say goodbye to our loved ones and you may wonder what is the appropriate attire. Hats have been long standing accessory during funerals and celebrations of life.
While hats are not a critical element of funeral attire anymore, dress hats are entirely appropriate and even encouraged. For men, fedoras, bowlers, or military caps are often worn into the funeral and then removed as a sign of respect. For women, an elegant hat that complements your attire can be worn throughout the funeral service. Avoid hats which may obstruct the view of other mourners. Hat with veil can allow for moment of privacy, and prevent onlookers from analyzing your emotions.
In summary, yes, you may wear an elegant hat to a funeral, and your elegant attire will be received as appreciated sign of respect.
