How about black outfit but colourful scarf, shoes, handbag?

I like black for a funeral.

A local funeral had mourners in Hawaiian shirts and shorts at the deceased’s request.

I wasn’t attending, but don’t know what I would have worn, nothing suitable.

Wear whatever you have, but perhaps add a splash of colour with a scarf.

I'm attending a funeral next week and the family have said not to wear black. The last funeral I went to when the family had also said no black, lots of people ignored this and only me and one other person wore a colour. I don't know what to wear for this one as I haven't really got anything suitable, but I do have lots of black. What would you do?
