Inappropriate behavior at a funeral is a sign of disrespect for the grief of the deceased's loved ones.

We'll tell you about the most common mistakes in behavior at funerals.

How to behave at a funeral

Firstly, it is extremely important to choose the right clothes. You cannot wear bright clothes, sportswear, sneakers, shorts.

Secondly, do not devalue the grief of the deceased's relatives. Do not say that you have to live on, that time heals, that "we will all be there."

You also shouldn't pretend that you understand how hard it is for your family.

Express your condolences, say that the deceased was dear to you, offer help.

Thirdly, if you do not belong to the faith of the deceased, you should not mindlessly repeat what others do - cross yourself ineptly, try to say a prayer, etc.

It is enough to do simple things prescribed by religion. For example, cover your head if you belong to the fair sex.
