IS is ok accept clothes from which the owner is already dead

Thanks for posting this topic. Clothes belongings to departed ones are still serviceable. They should be thoroughly washed and disinfected for various reasons, then distributed to deserving persons. Many are willing yo accept and use anew clothes used by deceased persons while they were still alive. This is view and response.

I know some relatives and widowed sold their passed away love ones clothes to the market as second hand clothes. Some is burning it. Some uses it. Some is giving it to the less fortunate so that it would be useful. If I will ask to wear those clothes I am not comfortable also.

Yes . The widow doesn't need them and your family member Need the jeans. It is perfectly fine.

Hi fearlessgara, There is nothing wrong with wearing such clothes, after all the original owner won't need it anymore. It depends on the person wearing it or a family member like yourself. Some people just would not be comfortably wearing the clothes of someone who has passed, and in that case maybe they shouldn't wear it. In your case if the person who has to wear it is comfortable, I think you should accept it. I have worn clothes that belonged to deceased relatives and have no problem with it at all. Blessings.

What makes you uncomfortable? Your neighbor's husband does not need them now. It was nice of your neighbor to offer them to your family member. A close friend gave several pair of her deceased husband's jeans to my husband. He was delighted to get them and wore them daily until he wore them out. It's a good thing that jeans are tough, because they are not cheap. Since your family member was juse starting a new job, he probabley needed the clothes badly.

i think it is just fine wearing those jeans. there's something wrong doing it. i think it is very helpful cos the widow will be happy cos his husband's jeans give benefit to others. im sure that she is too pity to throw the jeans away cos it belongs to her late husband. so when there's someone has willingness to wear it, im sure she will be happy. it happened to me few months ago. my mom had passed away and some if my relativesand neighbours were asking me to share my mom clothes. i was happy giving them my mom's clothes cos no advantage keeping my mom's clothes in the wardrobe. it will be more useful if we give them to others. i also wear some of my mom's dresses. though her size is bigger than me but i like wearing them cos they always remind me to my mom. so by wearing those jeans, your family has done something good i think. and there's no relation between the late man and hus clothes. each of them live in different world now..:)

i don't see an issue with using a departed persons clothing because not to use them would be very wasteful. reuse and recycle!

I think it is souly up to the recipient. I would wear the jeans. Nice of her to give them to your family member and they are still useable. Unless there is an emotional attachment to the deceased and it would be hard to wear them for that reason. I would just wear them.

Sure! I mean, it's not like they're digging up the guy's grave to take the clothes off of him; are they?

Hi! I can understand how you feel as it does feel a little strange to wear them. If they're washed well to get rid of the scent, would that help to get past it--at least until he's able to obtain some work attire on his own?

Hi fearlessgara. I think there's nothing wrong with that. The intention of your widowed neighbor is good and that is to help someone who can't afford to buy clothes for that time. Your family member just has to clean it well and pray for the soul. We normally donate unused or preloved clothes that are stocked long time in the cabinet. It's better to share the things to people than let it be destroyed by insects. It's just a material thing. Your family member just has to take it as a secret gift.

well just look at it this way would you feel comfortable if you he was denied a job because of inappropriate dressing he doesnot have a choice let him wear those in the mean time and when he gets paid he can buy his own. just get used to it if you wish him luck.

If your family member you can get over the macabre nature of it, he ought to - a job's a job.

The question is little bit challenging but for me I'm willing to wear a dress that comes from a deceased person but please if he is still alive but if he used it during his stay on his coffin, no way! I need to boil it first before i wear it but possibly, i wouldn't do that. Never! Lol

well It is not comfort actually but look the good side, she wants to help you. appreciate her by wearing the clothes that she gave would make her happy surely

I see no reason not to accept clothing from the deceased. it is one way to honor and keep their memory alive. we have to remember the person and not the clothing they leave behind.

There is nothing wrong with that that I can see.I think the husband would have donated then if he wasn't uaing them if he was still alive.The wife is doing something good for the husband who can't do it himself.

although wearing old clothes from late owner is kinda weird and a little creepy you should still accept it in return to owners generosity. you should cherish it because the owner must have put a great sentimental value on it. plus it is more convenient rather that buying new clothes.
