Many people like to plan simple and traditional funerals. You want to make sure that all aspects are exactly what your family and friends who have come to attend await. If you’re looking for a color that isn’t too light and traditional, consider black.

You can continue this tradition by using black at the funeral of your loved one.

If you think black has meaning but aren’t sure what it is and how it represents your religion, it might be a good idea to ask someone in church or research before you commit to find out what it means. If you don’t feel that the color black has a significant religious meaning, you can use it for no other reason than you like it.
If you like black then you can easily use it for your own purposes. You have the right to use any color you choose in the service. The fact that black is often associated with grief and death may be a
reason for this. It’s always good to understand the symbols behind a color before using it for a special occasion like a funeral, but you can use any color you choose just because you like it.
