Sorry for your loss ChirpyGirl.

Outfit looks fine - nice and bright which sounds like what your Granny wanted.

My friend died recently and had said to her h at one point about not wanting black so we decided we'd wear to the funeral what we would have worn if we were visiting her, iyswim.
Your outfit looks comfortable and cool, with a great splash of colour which is what I think non-black is all about.
Sympathy.

Sorry about your Granny.

Outfit is fine, liked finknottle's point about wearing what you would have worn visiting.

Thanks guys, haven't been able to come back all day to check!
finknottle that is what I have been thinking, this is exactly what I would wear if I was going to see her, apart from the shoes as these are the first heels I have worn in years

Thanks for sympathy, I don't think it has sunk in properly yet but she was ill for so long and had started to not recognise people it's almost a relief as she would have hated to have been remembered as being 'one of those doolally old ladies'

Glad to help. It is odd isn't it though? You know that's what the person wanted but you still don't want to appear disrespectful or callous or clueless.
Hope you give your lovely granny a good send-off.
