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!

Just fabulous! My mum said exactly the same about her funeral. She also wanted red balloons released to βtake her up to heavenβ (in her words). Iβll 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.

Amazing, you wonβt 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 sheβs 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 youβve 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.
