What is Burial Clothing? Just Give Me 2 Minutes

[@flixxfann]

My GreatGrandmother (I'm 70) always kept her prefered burial outfit in the bottom drawer of an old dresser, which i still have. She would sometimes find an outfit she better liked and would switch out the clothes. She would wear her previously chosen burial clothes. She was a hoot!

[@bill2407]

Thanks Kari for modeling the dress! And the Liberace clip was hilarious. A local funeral home here had a women's line of "special clothing.' Their motto on the displays and sewn into every label was "because she liked nice things." It's wonderful to have a little sense of humor with these things 🤭

[@dianeziembicki2918]

How interesting about the burial garments! You looked lovely in the dress! Liberace was awesome! Loved the movie clip!

[@MorganTN]

We actually chose one of the FH's stock for my grandmother. It was very nice and looked great on her in the casket.

[@RitaS0831]

I remember my grandmother had a dress my aunt bought at the funeral home but it was actually pretty. Probably the prettiest dress she ever had. The ones you showed looked more like nightgowns.

[@alysonm8545]

My high school best friend, who was a tall, strong soccer player, was buried in her college soccer uniform. But barefoot - she never really liked wearing shoes, so it felt right to leave her toes free. I remember her after games just hanging out with her cleats and socks off and her feet in the grass. Her mom took a silk pillow and rubbed it with some of the dirt from her home field to put at her feet.

[@squalli1297]

I've worked in the FH industry and sold very fer burial shrouds. They were available in the casket selection rooms for those who didn't want to look for something within their loved one's wardrobe. Some saw their loved ones had lost or gained weight over the years. Others didn't want to go through the trouble of shopping. For obese women, there was a staff member who did exceptional work at draping material over bodies using straight pins.

[@randyfritz333]

That dress looks like something that granny on Sylvester and Tweety bird would be caught wearing😂😂😂

[@futuremrtcn]

Idk what has to be done I want buried in my wedding gown. My most expensive and beautiful outfit I've ever owned. Forget shoes but I ABSOLUTELY need socks!

[@stephaniehowe0973]

Yes! My feet get cold even when it's 80 out.

[@reneeschu7792]

I have a beautiful navy blue cocktail dress set aside for my cremation.

[@TonyThomas10000]

We buried my grandfather in a burial suit (open in the back). He refused to buy a suit because he knew he would be buried in it!

[@CarolBileau]

I definitely wouldn't want to be buried in that. It does look like a nightgown 😮

[@gabriellegeorge2648]

Maybe the thought is to wear a nightgown as you go to your final sleep? I don't know, just trying to think up why that style in particular was chosen.

[@CarolBileau]

That makes sense. Maybe they didn't want to spend time making clothing that was too fancy.

[@lisasharf1442]

@@gabriellegeorge2648that’s what my mom wanted. She was buried in a new nightgown and robe.

You could wear burlap and still look incredible Kari. You always have such amazing content and I, for one, ❤ you for it. 🥰😍😘🌹

[@henryfreeman7748]

I'm sure she could wear her birthday suit and look very nice in it too

[@ValerieT2023]

I felt so bad after my Mom died years ago as I didn't think about burial clothes. Maybe I just thought they wrapped them in some kind of cloth before burial. We didn't have a viewing obviously. My friend, who is married to the funeral director, said they have donated clothes & he probably buried her in those, though it may not have been her style. When my brother recently died, we had him cremated. Again, I didn't give thought to clothes. Didn't think it mattered since he was being cremated. He died wearing the clothes he always wore, so if he was cremated in those, it was fitting.

[@ReneeMeisheid-s9c]

Growing up my mother always referred to burial dresses as shrouds. Are you familiar with that term? Or are those different?

[@SputnikDeb]

I don’t have any kind of special outfit, so I plan to have a shroud when I’m cremated.

[@SteppingRaven56]

Mother died via auto crash in 1970. Injuries were too severe, and the funeral home would not use her clothing due to open neck and short sleeves. We had to choose a dress from their stock, high neck and long sleeves. It looked well enough, but was something she would never have worn in life.

[@davidmckinney6577]

Hello 👋 Kari good to see you thanks for the link to liberace.

[@briancarter4205]

My wife and I are going to be buried in our moto leathers.

[@deniseroe5891]

My dad was in jeans, a plaid shirt with a ball cap, mom in a pretty dress. My mother in law bought a dress for her mom from the funeral home because she didn’t have one that matched the lining of the casket. My mom in law just recently passed and looking in her closet there was a dress with a post it note that said “ Bill, you can bury me in this” and we did. My husband was cremated and I will be too, so I will be too, so what we wear isn’t of any consequence.

[@henryfreeman7748]

ear your birthday suit, what could be more stylish

[@henryfreeman7748]

OH just wear your birthday suit 😁

[@janetphelps6879]

Oh no, get that off you! Cremation for me then mix mine and my husband's together. Aafter that idk. Book a cruise and schedule a burial at sea. They give you quadrant of where they're released. Then we can sail away forever.❤

[@howellomaha]

Thanks for the video link with Liberace. That was great. "Rayon chafes you know'.

I've seen that clip before. I need to watch the whole comedy movie. Liberace also plays a hair dresser also I believe.

Blue jeans and flannel shirt

[@momrobare]

My mom didn't fit into her wedding dress so she asked for it to be draped over her and buried with her. Me? I have my funeral all planned out. At first, I wanted a casket with a lining of yellow and I wanted to wear a long mint green gown of chiffon However, I have decided on a green funeral and not to be embalmed so it's going to be a short viewing. I'd still like either a mint green or a yellow chiffon dress. The casket will probably be rented instead of bought so the lining color doesn't matter.

[@hb11912]

I’m going to be cremated, but my daughter will be the only one who will be viewing my body as I have no other family left so just something casual.

[@9983sp]

I'm just being buried in a t-shirt and jeans. No monkey suit, no old uniform that I haven't worn in a dozen years now.

[@sherryritter-t4r]

I was wondering is that what a funeral director calls a dressing gown.

[@Jamiebrakebill30]

Cute dress. The burial dresses would probably be to big for me. I where a size adult small or extra small in most clothing

[@lindadoran6062]

One size fits all 😅

[@larryboysen5911]

As I advance in age...those burial shoes look easier to slip on the old "dogs"!

[@rab3633]

Hello, love your channel! If descendant’s clothing is brought to wear in casket, are clothing cut in back?

[@QueenDeeBLOCK]

They do cut the clothing in the back sometimes. She has videos showing that demonstration on a mannequin.

[@lauragadille3384]

Yes but if the family says no to cutting clothes they won't

[@tommystone4563]

I'm going to be buried in my Starfleet Uniform...🖖

[@edhaffey5045]

What about cremation clothing

[@timw8228]

Gosh who was it who recently passed away that was wearing some outfit/costume when buried? Maybe I'm thinking of reading a local obit. I know Boris Karloff was wearing a Dracula costume. Karl Lagerfeld was wearing his usual white/black clothing before being cremated. Rudolph Valentino was wearing a suit.

[@gregmilliken9659]

Bela Lagosi was buried in his cape and costume he wore in "Dracula", Boris Karloff was Frankenstein's Monster.

[@timw8228]

[@geedubb2005]

I’d like an 800 thread count sheet over me for cremation. Preferably a light color, but not black. Bamboo sheet would be fine. I’d like bamboo briefs too.

[@timw8228]

At my mother's service before it started I told the FD I found what my mother wanted on (joking of course) and can you change it? He laughed and said I had to do that before. I believe he said before the viewing he did a quick clothing change. Who was it Aretha Franklin that they dressed her differently every day of her visitation. I saw that in photo's. I'm going minimal, summer shorts and a Ralph Lauren polo shirt. I'm not planning a visitation.

[@WholeGrownWoman]

After seeing Aretha Franklin's clothing changes for her funeral services I wondered if any other funeral director would do that for a non-celebrity, even if they have the money to pay for it all. Just my thoughts...☺️

[@EricFortuneJr.]

​@@WholeGrownWoman If they have the money. It requires time labor.

[@WholeGrownWoman]

@@EricFortuneJr. I agree. It probably takes lots of time since the decedent can't "help" with the dressing process. Miz Franklin is the only person that I've ever heard of that had outfit changes. She sure could afford it though. ✨
