Don't mess around, suit and a black tie. It's the least you can do to show your respect for the deceased.

definately

Went to one a few weeks back, I put on a (the) suit but quite a few wearing normal clothes. Ech the bloke was popular, must have been 600 people at the church and the clubhouse they hired was packed. When I go it will be about three people in the garden shed.

Your next of kin may be pleasantly surprised. (Well you are dead so you won't know.)

I've been surprised at a lot of family funerals on the big turnout.

Suit and a black tie.

Sorry Sandy, while everything else you say is probably correct only plebs turn up to a funeral in casuals.

I agree...you should make an effort.

Black gimp suit for me ...

[OrangeHopper]

I've always done suit and dark red tie.

[NotAllThere]

Thanks. It's probably time I bought a new suit anyway. Definitely not normal clothing for me.

Was that in response to the Mr Blobby comment?

No brainer - suit and black tie.

[DS23]

it has to be dark suit and black tie unless specifically instructed otherwise.

It depends on the person and whether they had any wishes.

A friend of a friend asked everyone to dress in really bright colours for the funeral - her idea was to try and put the FUN into funeral. The friend had a real dilemma though about whether she would feel right in a bright red dress at a funeral... In the end she wore something bright, but not flamboyant to try and balance it - she felt comfortable, plus it was what her friend wanted.

I would err on the side of caution in the absence of anything else - suit, shirt and tie. Nothing too flashy or patterned.

Sorry I supposed I should've guessed that normal clothes means different things to different people so if normal clothes to you T-shirt , shorts and flip flops then nooooo - wear formal trousers and a jacket.
