My really close friend committed suicide on Sunday night and his funeral is tomorrow. Its a closed casket so I was wondering what I should do about bringing something that Id like to bury with him. Ive never had to do this so is it appropriate if I enlarged a pic of him and I and placed it next to the casket? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I just want to do it since we were childhood friends.

Also, are white flowers appropriate on a day like that?

 

talk to his parents and see what they think about it.

 

i believe it is customary, in chinese culture, that white represents death or something

my mom told me not to wear white to a wedding because it represents death or a funeral and to wear red more better (to a wedding)

 

Then why do brides wear white?

 

i think it represents innocence and virginity
(almost never true)

 

because they're lying biotches.. it's supposed to symbolize purity

 

for guests, not the bride or groom, im sure

 

:lmfao:

 

stay on subject guys...

yea asking the parents / relatives is a good one, it would highly differ on whats appropiate or not depending on culture / family traditions. sorry to hear about your loss

 

Definatelly ask the parents if tehy are okay with it. Also its customary to wear black, straight black if possible but i'm sure you knew that.
