Why not? As I recall, the bottom half of the body isn't visible in the casket, anyway.My brother-in-law used to wear khaki shorts and a button-down shirt, sometimes a tie and sneakers. That was for weddings anyway. When his daughter died almost 21 years ago, I can't remember what he wore, but probably a suit. That is the only funeral I've ever been to with him. I was wondering what my sister would put him in for today's viewing, but I assume it's not his typical shorts!![]()
