A funeral service is one of the most sensitive functions in life.
You need to behave in the best manner possible to avoid offending the bereaved.
Besides limiting expectations of being served like a king, make sure you do the following:
1. Respect religious and cultural differences
There is a high possibility that the funeral service that you are going to attend will be guided by culture and religion you do not subscribe to.
You should respect them without doing anything that compromises your beliefs.
2. Wear appropriate attires
The best place to ape an attire that you should wear to a funeral is when attending a job interview.
Make sure that you are not too skimpy to shift attention from mourning or too casual to annoy some people.
Black or white are among the best colours you can settle on.
3. Switch off your phone
Phones are good, but they also cause distractions in serious meetings.
Talking, texting and any form of phone engagement during a funeral service is disrespectful and disturbing.
If you must use your phone, excuse yourself to a secluded place and do so.
However, switch off your device to avoid this technological temptation.
4. Arrive early
There are times in a funeral that you are not expected to show up.
You should, therefore, arrive early to avoid unnecessary criticism.
Ensure you arrive some minutes before the service begins.#MyLifestyle
