I've got to attend a funeral tomorrow morning for a friend/co-worker who passed away on Monday. Since it's been a while since I've been to a funeral, and I don't have a suit, what is appropriate for such event?

Black suit
put on your black bathing cap... :p
Slacks, long sleeve dress shirt and a tie would be appropriate.
Cool. Thanks.
Dark colors right?
Yeah.
Slacks should be gray or black. Shirt can be pretty much any color (white, blue, red, black). Pretty much office dress code.
Just remember that the tie should compliment, not clash and your socks should match your shoes.
Black or grey slacks.....
WD got it
Go with black belt
black shoes
no white socks: either grey or black
darker colored dress shirt
black, dark grey, deep red, etc.
tie...nice, but not too flashy...
so yeah, what WD said..
sorry to hear, my condolances
Thanks NP, all. It's been a tough week for sure.
it doesn't really matter dude ... just don't show up in jeans and a tshirt and you'll be better dressed than a good 25% of the people there. i have been to well over 2 dozen funerals and sadly this is true. just wear pants, a shirt, and a tie if you got one. black or gray is best but like i said you're gonna see people there in tank tops and shorts.
just try to look as clean and tidy as possible, whilst also looking as unexciting as possible. so basically office-wear but darker. it sounds kinda weird but last time i bought a suit, i made sure it was black in case i had to go to a funeral.
doesnt sound wierd to me ... i go to a couple every year minimum.
random strangers, or people you know, gda?
mix of people i know and didn't care to know.
