Here, people don't seem to mind how they dress so much. Many people choose not to wear black, as we must in Japan. We always wear formal clothing, suits and sometimes formal kimono.
Although some people wear suits here, I have seen people wearing very casual clothing and even some teenage girls wearing very short skirts, as though they are going to a night club.
I was surprised to learn that sometimes Australians even play rock music, have a drink and tell funny stories about the dearly departed during the ceremony.
Many Australian people like to celebrate the lives of the departed and see them off in a fun way, instead of having a sad and depressing funeral service.
