A JW funeral is considered a congregational meeting by JW's. So the dress that we wear to that is no different than any other meeting. We normally wear a suit and tie or dress shirt and tie, dresses or skirts, etc. Some may not own a tie, so a clean presses shirt will sometimes be seen at a meeting. Some, who are not JW's attend our funerals, just like there are non-Witnesses that attend other meetings, so there are those who come in casual attire. These ones are not looked down upon, in fact, generally most there will make special effort to make someone who is not dressed as we are, to extend even more consideration and hospitality to these ones, since it is obvious that they are not JW's. A JW funeral is not to appease the dead person, as it is in some religions, but it is to provide comfort for the friends and family. The important thing is to be there. Nobody will make you feel out of place.
