Fashion has always celebrated life's brightest moments. There are endless conversations about wedding gowns, gala attire, red carpets, and what to wear for milestones worth celebrating. Designers build collections around joy, aspiration, and spectacle. Entire industries flourish around dressing for life's happiest occasions. Far less attention is paid to what we wear when life asks something far more difficult of us. Funeral attire has never been simply about black clothing.
