If attending a Sikh funeral, you should wear smart clothes that are not brightly coloured – white is preferred, as it is the symbol of mourning for Sikhs. Ladies should dress modestly in clothing that does not leave too much skin exposed. As a sign of respect, you should cover your head by wearing a cap or hat if male, or by a headscarf if female, at the ceremony. If the funeral service is conducted at the Gurdwara (place of worship), you should take off your shoes before entering.
