I’m a 94-year-old grandma – skinny jeans & flip flops are a no no at my funeral & no-one can look better than me either
A 94-YEAR-OLD grandmother has revealed the list of strict rules she has for her funeral.
Grandma Droniak, who has recently become an internet sensation with a staggering 13.6million followers on TikTok, has shared the dress code she wants people to abide by for her funeral.
Not only are skinny jeans not allowed but she isn’t allowing people to wear flip flops either.
And this certainly isn’t like any other standard funeral – as black is NOT allowed.
Posting on social media, the content creator shared her strict “dress code” as she said: “You could look good, but don’t look better than me. It’s my event, not yours.”
Not only this, but the influencer shared her thoughts on flip flops, as she added: “Don’t you dare wear flip flops. The last thing I wanna see is your feet.”
But despite flip flops being off the cards, Grandma Droniak advised: “You don’t have to wear black – don’t be boring, wear some colour.”
If you don’t know what to wear, Grandma Droniak shared that you can in fact buy and wear her very own merchandise.
She recommended: “You can also wear my merch. There will be a merch table at the funeral, so then you could buy some.”
The sassy grandma later added: “And don’t you dare wear skinny jeans.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @grandma_droniak, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and has since racked up 1.8million views.
Social media users flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the grandmother’s ‘iconic’ energy.
One person said: “Love the idea of dress code for a funeral! I want a merch table!”
Another added: “The most iconic granny on the planet. Please live long, we need you here.”

A third chimed in: “Don’t be talking about that Grandma, we need you around forever. You’re the best.”
Whilst someone else commented: “Merch at a funeral is such a power move, holy moly.”
What should you typically wear to a funeral?
Wearing black to a funeral is one of the longest traditions in fashion, with the dark colour symbolising mourning.
The custom of wearing black funeral attire goes back to the days of the Roman Empire when the Romans would wear dark togas as a symbol for death.
In some cases, families decide to eschew the dark dress code and ask their guests to wear colour, turning the occasion into a celebration of life, but it’s probably best to stick to black, unless otherwise specified.
Keep your look smart, opting for a dress, trouser suit, skirt suit or jumpsuit and possibly a hat.
Meanwhile, another user wrote: “I LOVE YOUR ENERGY You are iconic.”
At the same time, one woman penned: “I’ll be there, just set the date.”
To this, the grandmother jokingly replied: “No date yet.”
