advice for a funeral...

Honestly, don't wear the kilt. Within 10 seconds of your arrival it will be all about you. I know this isn't your intent but, unfortunately, this is the outcome.

Basic dress pants can be picked up at Target or Walmart for $20. Add a tie to your existing collared shirt and you are funeral ready.

ok, but I'm not planning on having a really flashy kilt outfit

yeah it's an important event, so don't wear your best!
Nothing says "I care" like some 20 dollar slacks from Walmat

I don't think a woman wearing a kilt would attract the attention that a man wearing one would.

Good point there!

I have unfortunatly had to attend a few funerals since I started wearing the kilt pretty much full time, usually just as a viewer, but I've spoken at one, and was a pallbearer once. I have never felt that my clothing was a 'distraction'. Everyone I know expects me to be kilted, and since I rarely attend the funerals of strangers, most folks are not suprised to see it.

My Dad always says the the only required clothing at funerals is a white shirt and dark tie.
