5 Classic Black Dresses for Funerals



Conservative, elegant and a perfect base layer for wakes and funerals, this black midi dressis comfortable for long days thanks to the spandex jersey. For church settings, the V back may be taboo, but with a jacket or cardi, your knee length black dress would certainly be appropriate. Priced under 100 dollars, this black dress is equally appropriate for cocktail receptions or date nights.

The short bell sleeves on a black lace shiftsets a somber tone with a soft touch. A black keyhole closure makes this A line shift easy to slip on and forgiving if your weight tends to fluctuate. Add a shawl for cooler settings or keep cool in this airy black shift.

Long sleeves and a scalloped hem create an elegantblack lace dress. A sophisticated style in mourning attire, the black sweetheart underlining gives sheer lace coverage over the shoulders and arms. With all of these details, it's fortunate to find a lace funeral dress for less than $100.
