Help me out here, folks.
Can I go to the funeral home while dressed?
Nope, nobody died, at least no one I know. The local funeral home is having a free pizza party, as a promotional event. They sent me an invitation, and I am considering going.
And if I go, I am thinking of dressing for the event. What will I wear?
Advice please.

I would expect that I'm jumping to conclusions about you (my apologiessif so) but mind you, that some people might be offended that you are using this time as an opportunity for your own expression instead of paying your respects to whomever is deceased, thait is if you are talking about a wake. . The family of the one that has passed may see this as you using this as a venue for your own gain & selfishness. They are in emotional distress....why make it a circus? Just my
Secondly, funeral staff are a bit conscious of people they call "ghouls".... whichare people who are peculiarly fascinated with death, and the visceral aspect of things related to death and funerals. They may interpret you the wrong way....That would include "free pizza" events. I 've had enough bump-ins with goth vampires & transgendereds. That's what comes to my mind, so I'm sorry if this is an incorrect understanding of what you are planning on doing. . Don't get me wrong, Harold & Maude is one of my favorite films.

I don't know, I think a funeral home having a promotional event involving free pizza is weird in the first place, so anything beyond that seems like it would be cool to me.
However, I think I'd avoid eating the pizza at this promotional event.
Yeah, pizza and death! clogged arteries right? or a pizza with the works looking a bit............. visceralOriginally Posted by Nathalie66

Goth vampires oh my!
Holy cow.!!!!! transgendereds too? Some real scary folks, those transgendereds.
OOPS!! Almost forgot the OP ( I got scared)....... sorry Magicman. I'd say wear what you'ed like. I don't think they'll have any dead people laying around if it's a promotional event.... just use your usual good taste. Damn, that's one hell of a pizza oven!!!

Party at a Mortuary? That calls for a LBD, doesn't it? Dressed up with some nice jewelry!

Free pizza at the undertakers? A word of advice DO NOT EAT THE ANCHOVIES!
It takes a real man to wear a dress.
"Elvira. Mistress of the Dark"cracking up here what a good answer....
well obviously no ones deceased if yer got an invitation me thinks theyre drumming up business....
Promoting the Mortuary is their idea to have a fun time.
Mind I have worked with funeral directors, believe me unless you ask you dont know if they're open to anything, some of the ones oi know im related to laffing, n we go through those jokes as well.
when we dressed my mom, she loved Jimmy Hendrix reggae music, we laughed n joked,mind when she died she was 66,..but to my dads bemusement as he and my brother selected what she was going to go out in. (casket).
this sort of thing doesnt have to be morbid as some make it...also oi guess depends on circumstances, there is no disrespect here.
So go as you wish what ever you are comfortable in.
They now pay or have someone that does the final make overs, so to speak I have done this, just you are the one doing the make over and all the tawking laffing...Originally Posted by trannie T
You may be able to get some good makeup tips from the morticans
so anytime yer want some make up tips yer can pm me if yer wish lol...depends if yer want goulhish or halloween laffing...
yeh im bad... thats me shesadvl
Oh wait, I thought it was the point of creating topics, to get some answers. I've been mislead. Would please tell be the real purpose of creating a thread over here? To aim to get the least answers?This whole thread sounds like it was made up just to get responses. A pizza party at a funeral home to drum up business? come on...get real.
C'mon, think about it. It doesn't matter if this is real or not, we can't check it out at all. As long as the thread is interesting and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, why should we care how geniuine the thread is. In most cases we will not even be able to check out the truth about it anyway, so why should be bother thinking about something unless we know for sure it's fake, but then you can just not answer to the thread.
Just look at yourself, even you answered to the thread, so there must be something good about this thread. *giggles*

I agree that you should go as Elvira that really is the best idea for a funeral home having a Pizza Party. Joann0830"Elvira. Mistress of the Dark"
Yes, wouldn't that be the ultimate transformation!
Better yet, what about raiding Morticia Addams' closet and going as her look-alike? That's bound to be an attention grabber, although the creepiness factor might just drive away some potential business"Elvira. Mistress of the Dark".
I'd decline any meat offered.

Pizza at a mortuary? Really? No, I mean really?
I see no reason you couldn't go crossdressed. Basic black I guess. Please tell us how it goes.

Never look a gift hearse in the mouth, I always say.
No you didn't!
NO - I would not go - either dressed or in drab - free pizza party at a mortuary is really strange and in poor taste

I bet you're a real hoot at family reunions. What makes it poor taste? Morticians have to eat too... and unless you want a high suicide rate, they should enjoy their work... and unless you want them to go bankrupt, they need to do something unusual to attract business.
When I go, I want clowns and jugglers and a Dixieland jazz band at my funeral. *AND* there'll be a pizza party, youbetcha.
