Kilt and Funerals

[KiltShot]

It seems to me by the information you provided in your post that it would be disrespectful to deny this Scottish woman's loved ones one of their requests while fulfilling the other. It is the responsibility of everyone who attends to show respect for the wishes of the family.

Yes, wear the kilt, but refrain from accessories which are too flashy, black flashes instead of red, that sort of thing.

Condolences to the ones left without their loved one

Deacon,

Best to honor the wishes of the family, and celebrate the life.

My condolences.

My condolences to you and your family.

Since they asked you to wear the kilt, I certainly would do so. Wear it with pride and respect (as you always would) and you should have nothing to worry about.

A black neck tie I can understand. Wearing black flashes seems affected to me. As has been pointed out in numerous threads discussing dress appropriate for funerals, Highland Scots tend to dress in what they normally wear to daytime events. Jock Scot has posted a link showing photos of the obsequies of the late Chief of the MacLeods...worth checking out.

Perfectly stated. This isn't exactly a poll, but I would vote for this response if it were.
