    Clothing for a memorial service

    Next weekend, there will be a memorial service for my sister in law who died in October. She died in the US so this is, effectively, the English 'funeral' for her. Her nephew is in the army and asked me should he wear a suit or no. 2 dress? Any thoughts? Thanks Sadie x

    Hi Sadie

    My husband only ever wears Service Dress to military funerals. I don't think I hav ever witnessed a Serviceman in uniform at the funeral of a civilian in the UK.

    Hope that helps.

    Agree with Heli. Only service dress if at a military funeral.

    My oh usually wears a suit.

    Sorry for your loss too. *huggles*
