Funerals and what to wear

Yesterday I went to a funeral.  It was of an older lady and I assumed it would not be one of these - wear bright colours - that seems to be favoured by some these days.  I was right there was mostly black or subdued hues.  What I did find had changed was the idea that you wore your best clothes.  Now it seems you wear what you want from t-shirts, short dresses and casual clothes to suits for men and smart dresses or trousers for women.  Then I thought, does it really matter what you wear?  The love and respect that was shown to the deceased and the inclusiveness shown by the family to all who attended seemed to be much more important.  These days how one dresses is such an individual thing that maybe everybody was wearing their best clothes.
