Funeral
I was at a funeral yesterday (our church choir director/pianist passed away) and one family who are old friends I hadn't seen in a few years was there. The mother was wearing an ultrasheer black top with a less sheer leaf pattern on it, that made me think of you all, she was wearing a camisole underneath, but no bra; if it hadn't been for the camisole you would have been able to see everything. Her daughter was also braless, but wearing a lowcut formal dress that has built in support so I'm not sure if that really counts. After the funeral she was chasing after the grandson of the deceased, trying to hug him, I can't imagine not wanting to be hugged by her. I was wondering if this style of dress was really appropriate for a funeral, but actually there was a great variety in dress among the attendants and I'm sure that the deceased wouldn't have minded at all. He often mentioned that a highlight of his musical career was when he got to play with Dolly Parton.

Re: Funeral
Reminds me of something I saw not long ago. We were out with the after-church crowd eating and I noticed one family in the restaurant with a daughter probably about 12 whose dress with the light behind her showed a lot. I was probably 10 feet away when they were seated and I could tell without much problem that she wore white bikini panties with some pattern, and a bra to match. I can't believe this wouldn't have been noticed by the family, especially in that it was to go to church, but maybe not.

Re: Funeral
Interesting. . . what is appropriate to and not to wear at church???
In my faith tradition clergy are expected to wear an alb (robe/dress) that is plain white. There is an ancient tradition for this, however much of the thinking is not to distract people by your clothing or lack there of. For example one clergy lady a number of years ago was sitting on the podium, and without covering breast fed her child in-front of over 500 people. That was a bit distracting. She was making a point.
Today, this tradition of wearing an alb is greatly challenged. Yet more and more I am finding some people wearing less and less.
One dear old lady (80+) regularly wears very sheer with minimal covering as it is cool to wear in the hot weather. Several young ladies wear very low cut, sometimes without a bra. Last Sunday one young lady (about 16) I thought her boobs would pop out if she bent over. As much as I love nudity and topfreedom, I am old fashioned enough that I prefer to focus on why I am at church and not be looking at other's bodies.

Re: Funeral
Hi Liz
You mention wearing black... Here out West I find that few people wear black anymore to funerals. They like flower patterns so to express a celebration of the life of the loved one.
My family knows that I love topfreedom and nudity, ideally when I have a viewing after I am dead, I would prefer to be topfree -- if I must be covered up due to cause of death, nothing more than a t-shirt and shorts.

Depends upon the context - and what the nude one is projecting.

Re: Funeral
I've heard of nude weddings, why not a nude funeral?
Not everyone was wearing black at this funeral, most of the funerals I've been to some people wear black, some don't.
My mother hates black and wants hers to be called a memorial service not a funeral, she wants me to make sure no one wears black when the time comes, she wants them all wearing bright colors like her favorites red and yellow, that could be tricky.
