High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Funerals in Tonga (South Pacific), despite the large Christian influence they have undergone over the last 150 years or so, are still very much a traditional affair and an important part of the culture of Tonga, especially if it concerns the passing of a high chief or a member of the royal family.Christian influence has made black (shirt, trousers, skirt, tupenu, etc.) the prescribed colour for everybody in mourning. It is to be worn a few days for a far acquaintance, to a few weeks for a far relative, to a year for a close relative. This is irrespective whether a ta‘ovala is worn or not. For those in uniform a black armband is allowed instead.
