funeral attire: is all black the norm or is colour aceptable nowadays

[DrNortherner]

I thank you.

Black or dark colours, unless requested not to, is generally de rigueur, I find. Also, light on the eye make-up or waterproof unless you want to end up looking like a Panda. Sadly, I have far too much experience at this...

Agree, err on the side of caution and go for black or dark colours unless family have said "no black please"

I would go for black or dark colours unless specifically asked not to.

Have not been to one for years (thank God) but sadly, now do.

Will go with black trews, polo neck and my grey coat.

Thanks

Unless there's a specific request with regard to clothes, dark colours and reasonably formal is the best way to go.
