Dressing for a funeral. (my Dad's).

My darling Dad died two days ago. I now realise that I will have to find something to wear for the funeral, both for myself and my 80 year old mother. I don't wear black much normally, it doesn't suit me, and so the only things I have in black are either very casual or full on evening wear. I wear 30's or 40's things if I'm wearing a dress, and I'm roughly a size 12 but should be a 10 (have put on a stone recently due to a thyroid problem) so although not a big dress size I am a bit chub. I like things to cover my knees and I am tallish. My Mum is also about a 12 but a typical old lady shape. I don't even have black shoes! Am frantically dealing with funeral arrangements all day and haven't had time to really look online (I live hundreds of miles from any half-decent city with naice shops). Very grateful for any ideas. Dark grey would be fine as would navy I imagine.
