Funeral homes could offer clothing rentals to mourners who don't own appropriately funereal clothing. Could save on material & cleaning costs because they might only need to be worn by a live person once or a few times at most - eventually someone could be buried or cremated in the used outfits.
(idea
inspired by someone asking in a local online forum where to get a suit for her 19 y/o son to wear to a funeral)

Slightly off topic - but a good excuse for me to promote on my fav halfbakery offerings (link) |

Amazing how many Pantone BLACK shades there are. For when you want to convey a precise degree of mourning. |

I'd be suprised if the undertakers wouldn't supply this, but they would have to be asked in advance (you wouldn't want them pulling a clothes rack from out the back of the hearse, while the mourners strip to their undies at the rain-swept graveside) |
|
| |
The last funeral I was at the undertakers had a bunch of large black umbrellas for the mourners to use which I guess is the first step towards this idea. |

This is why being a Goth is such a cost effective life option. |

waves to Bob, you old goth. Shirley clothes rental is well baked, nay done to a crisp. |

True - even alluded to in the subtitle. But this is a specific type of clothing (somber) offered by the specific venue (funeral homes). |

ignore me, I'm turning into doc curry. |

Half baked then - you can rent an understated black suit from many a haberdashery. |
|
| |
I'll take that as a complement - half baked is what we're all about here! I really think the funeral directors are missing out on a lot of business going to other clothing rental places. |
|

Maybe they could at least get a cut from referrals. |

//mourners who don't own appropriately funereal clothing//
The last couple of funerals that I attended, nobody was in traditional funeral garb anyway. So I think this is an idea whose time passed, probably, back in the 70's. |

I guess I was late for the funeral then. |
