I've never heard of a nurse at a funeral, let alone donning the, I guess traditional, attire.

It sounds revered. I've just never heard of such, or of its importance to others .

Is it a religious practice, or something different? I ask in sincerity.

The absence of courage and faith in my life does not preclude me from great admiration for people like you who are obviously outstandingly special, sensitive and compassionate.

If this is an inappropriate post, let me know. I will delete and apologize.
