I am attending a Persian funeral tomorrow?

Can anyone give me any ideas of what to expect and what proper etiquette is?

    dont be so sure on the cremation part.. most are buried.

    the main thing is to wear black.. dress very modest... pants are best and do not laugh or even smile. It is best just to look down. dont be surprised if you get kisses on the cheek.. that is normal as is the hug for the Americans..

    good luck.

    Well, there will be a dead body there, so be quiet, dress modest, no cleavage or booty shorts or mini skirt. Act sad, don't smile or laugh. They will pray and then take the body away for cremation.
