I’d agree with others that attendance is the most important thing. As long as the colours are muted and somber you’ll be fine. Unless bright colours have been requested! Black is a bit old fashioned these days. But I’d stick to the black tie if possible. |

Hope it goes as well as it can for all concerned x |

Grey is good. Been fortunate in my time and not had to attend many. That’s changing now though.
Two to attend in next two weeks. I’m determined never to buy a black tie. So, dark grey suit over a black tee shirt. Black coat. |

Just remember,
it's a celebration of their time on this Plain, not a mourning of their passing onto another one.
Time for reflection, time for smiles and memories and a time to think how they touched your life personally. it's a time to set a place at the table, never to be filled again, but to be reminisced over, to raise a glass at the person they were (and still are... Just not in the physical sense) and a time to reflect on what us, as an individual, can do to make a difference as to their cause. We are there to carry on their purpose, we have that choice.
I believe we are all here for a purpose. Once that is achieved, we dance our way across the rainbow bridge, to a land that needs us....
Always remember that last smile they gave! That's the memory you want and the one to call upon when things get tough

You may want to check the dress code.
A black tie is the 'norm', not the black suit.
But I've been to funerals where the deceased want people to dress casual or brightly - to show a celebration of life.
.
I hope it goes as well as possible. Big hugs |

Unless you are famous or millionaires people just wear what they choose to funerals and weddings now.
The last funeral I went to was for my best friend and I wore a turquoise Indian dress as she had lived in India for a while when her husband was in the Army and loved it there.
The important thing is to be there to allow yourself to grieve and say goodbye. |

I am going to go against the grain and say I think the shirt isn't the right look
However, I don't know who's funeral you are going to and whether they would appreciate that shirt or not |
