You might be confused between the reciting of a rosary and a rosary service. You are not the only one. While reciting a rosary, you are reaffirming your faith in the Lord. On such an occasion, you can wear whatever you like including your favorite red rosary beads. At a rosary service, however, you need to be more mindful. It is a prayer service held in the evening before the Funeral Mass. Friends and family gather to remember the person who has passed away.

On such a delicate occasion, you need to keep some things in mind. It will help you pay your respects to the departed. The first thing to keep in mind is the outfit you will be wearing. Make sure to wear clothes that are black in color so you can show your respect. If you do not want to wear black, make sure you choose a muted color that will not make you stand out. 

You also need to make sure you wear dresses that are high-neck or collars that are open. On such an occasion, you do not want to attract unnecessary attention to yourself as it can be perceived as a mark of disrespect. When looking at the length of the pants or dress you are wearing, make sure both cover your knees as anything shorter would be considered inappropriate. 

You also need to pay attention to the jewelry you wear. Do not wear anything that is bold or loud. Try to match it with your dress as much as possible. Another thing you can do is wear jewelry the deceased loved one would have wanted you to wear. It is a good way to honor them.

Looking down at your feet, wear shoes that are not flip-flops or sneakers. Instead, make sure that you wear shoes that are in a good condition and are not in flashy colors. A good choice would be to opt for shoes that are black or brown in color.

Once you have your outfit in place, you also need to ensure that you look presentable. Make sure that your clothes are washed, ironed, and clean. You can also steam it beforehand to ensure it is in the best possible condition for you to wear on the day. Also, look after your general hygiene by having a bath and doing your hair.

All these gestures are a way to show your mark of respect to the departed. When you attend the rosary service, make sure to remember the person and all your fondest memories with them. Pray to the Lord for their peaceful journey henceforth, and allow yourself to remember them. Using your pink rosary beads is a great way to solidify your prayers to the Lord as well.

Now that you know the etiquette and outfit of a Rosary service, you can go ahead and mourn your loved one. Do put extra heart into your prayers so they reach the person you are missing.
