Purple is regarded as the colour of mourning in the Christian church.

That sounds entirely appropriate. I hope the day will go as well as such events can do and my condolences on your loss.

That sounds absolutely fine. At my husband's funeral two years ago several women were not wearing black.

Yes, any dark clothing is fine and you seem to have black in there anyway.

My dsil's Mum died at the weekend and I will be attending the funeral next week. I haven't got a black winter coat and don't really want to buy one. Would it be appropriate to wear a dark purple (not at all bright) wool coat with black trousers, and black scarf and gloves?
