A black cloud shadowed the weekend with the sad news that country music singer Kelsea Ballerini‘s grandparents died within 39 hours of each other. If you know her music, Kelsea is no strange to loss. Accepting, healing and moving ahead stronger are themes in her debut album.
Condolences, Kelsea. No one plans ahead to attend a funeral. You just need that black dress waiting when the time comes. With a heavy heart, my dress picks today highlight
5 Classic Black Dresses for Funerals
V back midi black dress
Conservative, elegant and a perfect base layer for wakes and funerals, this black midi dress is comfortable for long days thanks to the spandex jersey. For church settings, the V back may be taboo, but with a jacket or cardi, your knee length black dress would certainly be appropriate. Priced under 100 dollars, this black dress is equally appropriate for cocktail receptions or date nights.
Black lace shift
The short bell sleeves on a black lace shift sets a somber tone with a soft touch. A black keyhole closure makes this A line shift easy to slip on and forgiving if your weight tends to fluctuate. Add a shawl for cooler settings or keep cool in this airy black shift.
Long sleeve black lace dress
Long sleeves and a scalloped hem create an elegant black lace dress. A sophisticated style in mourning attire, the black sweetheart underlining gives sheer lace coverage over the shoulders and arms. With all of these details, it’s fortunate to find a lace funeral dress for less than $100.

My deepest condolences, Kelsea. Grieving, tears and sorrow make funerals a melancholy time. You search for happy memories, friends and family to support you through the events.
