What to wear to a funeral

<p>I’m going to a Jewish memorial service today. This morning I ironed a black linen tunic to wear with black slacks and also a muted flowered jacket with black to wear with a long black tube dress. Still undecided. It’s going to be very hot.</p>

<p>When my aunt died the priest caught me unawares and I didn’t have time to take off my winter outer jacket. I tromped up to the altar to give the first reading feeling uncomfortable. Today no one will be watching me.</p>
