Funeral wear..

[Maloneyb]

I’ve never been to non-Asian funeral. For Asian funerals we wear white/cream

im attending a close funeral this weekend and I am not sure what to wear. It’s black dress, that’s all I know

Would a black blazer, black top and black trousers work?
If not, what is appropriate? I wouldn’t want to offend or do the wrong thing

Black blazer and trousers would be fine. A white or cream top would be okay if you wanted to lighten the look a little.

It doesnt necsssrily need to be black dress ,for my mums funeral j wore grey trousers and a dark blue top ,unless otherwise stated ( as some people might request bright colours ) i would stick to neutral smart clothes,although your suggested outfit is fine

My son and Dh both wore a dark suit with white shirt and black tie but they were carrying the coffin.

The outfit you've suggested will be fine. You could wear a coloured top under the black blazer if you wanted to make the outfit less formal.

Sometimes the family will request attendees wear a particular colour, so the top or adding a scarf is a way to do that.

Thanks all!
I considered a dress with black tights too but not sure if I have an appropriate simple black dress!

My father was a C of E vicar in the 70s, 80s and 90s. He always said that, from a church point of view, you could wear anything to a funeral, but to be guided, more, by the family of the deceased. So I would stick with your trouser suit; it sounds eminently suitable and respectful.
