Mum and I talked about her funeral a lot. She was horrified we might wear black. She wanted bright everything. After an internal struggle with funeral tradition and orthodoxy I have ordered these!

@Simonablake Just fabulous! My mum said exactly the same about her funeral. She also wanted red balloons released to β€˜take her up to heaven’ (in her words). I’ll never forget that sight xxx

@Simonablake My Mum asked the same. There were sequins and feather boas, it was glorious. (The older Jewish community rock hahaha) It really helped me at the moment I dreaded worst, I hope it does you too xx

@Simonablake Good call. We asked everyone to wear something purple to my mum's because of the poem. It was amazing to see actually, compared to just black.

@Simonablake @SAPHNAsharonOBE Amazing, you won’t regret it! My mum passed over a decade ago and everyone wore bright yellow; it was one of her wishes. So glad we did it. Rock those converse with pride and know she’s proud of you!

@Simonablake Bright funerals are wonderful, it can really lift the formality and help make it a celebration. Hope it goes as well as it can and you feel like you’ve done her proud!

@Simonablake I love them, and I'm sure your Mum will too, as you say, she wanted bright colours to be worn. Thinking of you and all your family and friends.
