What is the dress code for mourners attending a Jehovah's Witness funeral?

• A. Bright colors
• B. Simple clothes of muted colors
• C. Casual wear allowed
• D. Formal black only

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that mourners dress in a respectful, modest way that won’t distract from the service. For Jehovah's Witness funerals, attire should be simple and in muted colors. This reflects seriousness and humility, helping keep the focus on the occasion and the grieving family rather than on fashion or display.

Bright colors are not appropriate because they can draw attention and feel celebratory rather than solemn. Casual wear isn’t suitable because funerals call for modest, respectful clothing rather than everyday or relaxed attire. Wearing only formal black isn’t required; there’s no mandate to dress exclusively in black. The idea is to present oneself in a subdued, dignified way, which is best captured by simple clothes of muted colors.
