Clothing Guidelines We fully dress the deceased to preserve their dignity and help them look as “normal” as possible. As a general rule, the clothing is not returned to the family*, however jewelry and other items that are displayed in the casket can either be returned or left with the deceased. You may bring the clothing with you to the arrangement meeting or bring it to the funeral home later. However, we do prefer to have the clothing by 12 noon at least one day before the visitation. If you have any questions, please call our offices at 440-516-5555 or 216-291-3530. Clothing for the deceased should include: Long sleeves and a high neckline Undergarments - including underwear, socks, t-shirt, bra, stockings, etc. as appropriate Shoes (optional) Glasses, a wig or a hairpiece (if normally worn) Hair dye MUST be provided by the family and at the funeral home by 12 noon the day before the visitation A recent photo (You can e-mail photo to [email protected]) Jewelry, a rosary or any other items to be placed in the casket.
