Heels to a funeral

Can you wear heels to a funeral?
Or would flats be more sensible?

Flats probably more sensible.
Heels could be ok if they're not too big.

If it is a traditional round-the-grave-outside funeral, then flats, if not then sensible heels or flats, depending on which one you want to wear more

I wore heels (lowish, business- suitable heels) to my grandmother's funeral. I'd advise against it as if you're at the burial, you'll most likely be standing on grass so heels will sink in.

ditto, except it was my great aunt and they were quite high heels (my only black pair)

all was well and good until we had to walk quite a way along this tiny rubble path to the burial, which was on damp grass.

It would be fine, just go with whichever looks smarter. Obv don't go rolling up in 6 inch stilletto's tho!! But small heels are fine.

Never been to a funeral but personally, I'd wear flats.
Partly because of the racket heels can make when you're walking on a hard surface.

I wore small heels (my first ever heels) to my mum's funeral last year. The church was carpeted and I did sink into the grass a bit at her grave-site, but was too hysterical to care much.

I would wear flats or sensible courts with thicker heels - the kind you'd wear in an office or at school.

If you're comfortable with them, then I don't think that they're inappropriate at all. However, as others have said, if it's a burial rather than a cremation, then you're quite likely to sink into the grass, especially at this time of year. In all honesty, you'll probably be too upset to care what you're wearing.

Flats just for the sake of comfort I would suggest. But it's upto you obviously.

I wore heels to my grandfathers funeral recently- although there was no burial, so no chance of sinking in grass. Anyway, they were courts, and were actually a deep red, not black- but I had on trousers so only the top part showed. It was acceptable, but of course your own views/family might differ.
