Funeral attire-help

Funeral attire
Iam.attending a funeral on 1st July,well it's the church service after family have been to crematorium.
I had my outfit planned, black smart jeans,black camisole top,long line brocade coat thats purples and greens.
Now the weather is scorching, I don't know what to wear, I have black flowery dresses but more suited to evening things, I have a white zara broadranglaise short shirt dress, ive got pink and green flowery summer dresses,but not sure thats appropriate. Black top and cream and black dressy shorts?
Please help, iam useless! Can post pics of stuff when I get home

Difficult one. On the one hand, no one should care what you wear, but I’m not sure I’d go with shorts.
Maybe nip to a charity shop, look on Vinted, or try Amazon? They have plain short sleeved black dresses for under £10 on Amazon that would be suitable, and not too hot.

Have you asked if there's a dress code?

Next week is due to be cooler (low to mid 20s), but I'm not sure that anything you've described is suitable for a funeral OP. I wouldn't wear jeans or shorts and I wouldn't wear white (unless it was requested by the family).

When I go to funerals I generally wear a dark dress or a pair of smart black trousers and nice top/blouse, summer or winter.

I wore a long black maxi dress for a hot funeral in mid July.

I have got a phase 8, black funeral dress but I don't think I can get in it anymore, 😫
Wouldn't get here in time for Wednesday from vinted

Scorching hot funeral attire is the pits, my sympathies. I'd go for a long black cotton dress and black sandals.

Post pics of the cream and black shorts and black top @Steeleydan , they might be fine. Not much difference between some shorts and culottes, if they're dressy and long enough they honestly could be fine but let us see.
Very sorry for your loss.

Here's the shorts and top

I’d wear black linen trousers & a short sleeved top/blouse which I already own but if not I’d go out & buy a cheap cotton floaty skirt or dress.

I’m sorry I’d say the top and shorts are more for a day at the beach or park. Funeral attire isn’t as formal as it used to be but people don’t wear shorts.
As some PPs have said the family might have a dress code.

Just a smart black dress is needed surely. You can wear shorts to a funeral, or jeans for that matter!

Can you post a picture of the black flowery dress? The shorts are not OK for a funeral, for sure.
Otherwise have you got a shirt to wear over the smart jeans? Even a white shirt would be Ok if the jeans are dark and smart and you can dress it up by looking very groomed.

Here's one black dress

Daughter wore this for a recent funeral. I wore a very similar dress for a Summer funeral a few years ago.
Shorts definitely not. Or jeans. Or a colourful dress unless the family have asked for colours.
Plain black dress the easiest in heat I feel.

Really don’t think that is ok for a funeral.

Here's the other one!

I wore a navy blue summer dress.

Or these, they look like beachwear OP, even for a very relaxed funeral you can’t turn up in this.
Can you borrow something ? A dress or black/dark grey trousers ?

Not the shorts, and not really a vest type top. If you have no other dark coloured skirt or trousers then can you manage the black jeans? It's meant to be a bit cooler around 1 July time. Pair the jeans with a plain coloured blouse or shirt in a muted colour.

I had my DH funeral a couple of years ago and honestly, aside from my immediate family, I can't recall what any of the other mourners wore. I would try not to go with anything too bright or flowery though, unless they've specifically said to wear bright colours, and not a top that exposes too much flesh.

Sorry for your loss OP
Those short, shorts and the vest top- NO
The first dress looks like polyester and very hot, also wouldn't says its funeral attire
The 2nd 'dress' looks like a polyester blouse. If its short then again, not funeral attire.

I'd be going to charity shops/vinted and looking for cotton dresses, or online.

Definitely not the shorts!

Black or navy wide leg linen trousers from M and S with a white top.

So, ive been brave and tried on my funeral dress, and it fits ! It's actually White Company not Phase 8 as I first thought! Shows how long ago i wore it.
Iam feeling fat and frumpy as it is at the moment, so the thought of trying new clothes on is a fate worse than death,iam on a diet but it's slow! I did look on amazon, the one I liked didn't have my size,and the others I couldn't work out if they be here in time,I don't do prime. Vinted is my thing at moment, but ive left it too late!
Ive actually only ever been to one summer funeral and that was my mums,and we stipulated bright colours. The winter funerals ive been to i would have a long smart wool coat on.
If I change my mind on dress,think ill do the black jeans,they are very dressy jeans by Barbour not your everyday work looking jeans,and a nice blouse, with black patent peep toe wedges by Dune.
The funeral is my friends' mil.
Thank you all for your help and advice,and being kind.Photo of said dress, the thought of black in 36deg is just awful 😖

Ah well done @Steeleydan, that last one is fine. Hope the funeral goes well and everyone isn't melting by then.

The last dress is better than everything else so far OP. It does, however, look incredibly hot. Is it polyester/lycra?
