Default Do You Have To Wear A Black Suit To A Funeral (Help)?

I was just wondering. I know it's tradition, but I have no money to buy a black suit, I have a grey one, but I'm worried everyone will think I'm being disrespectful.

What does eveyone think. Please help.

You could wear a clown costume if you like, doesnt really go down too well with the other people there though

And to awnser your question, yes, unless you want to stand out

I dont think people will mind. If you have a black tie it wont be as bad, but generaly dark colours are best.

At my fathers funeral, nobody was allowed to wear depressing colours.
Only bright colours.
It was nice
