As a 'piper, I don't have much choice about what to wear to a funeral that I'm playing for. For "non-working" funerals, I say wear what you want, and go to honor the deceased. And while we're talking about that, I want to have my funeral before I die. That way, I can hear the good things folks have to say about me. Both of them.

There are only 2 or 3 in my family who are even interested in ancestry, and I'm the only kiltie on either side, and of the 4 family funerals I've attended in the last 10 years, I've played for all 4 of them. Folks probably wonder if the kilt and jacket and fly plaid and "them long socks" are my "funeral suit".
