Proper dress for piping at a funeral

[jeremy j starche]

I wouldnt consider it too flashy unless the tartan was brightly-based or was more than half of a bright colour.
By the way - do many of you go kilted to funerals? I have only been to a couple but I think it would be good if I could wear my kilt (Campbell Ancient - Black Watch Ancient) to funerals with a black Argyll, black hose, black ghillie brogues and black shirt (or white shirt with black tie) and not "stand out" as being "unacceptable". I would be honored if people attended my funeral kilted and I want to be buried kilted... although not for another 60+ years I hope!

No, kilts to a funeral is unusual, unless you are a piper. And I don't wear a kilt to a funeral unless I plan on piping. (Not that I'd be opposed to the idea, but when I'm in kilt and -not- piping it adds disappointment to an already emotional day....)
