I think you are quite right to be cautious in your circumstance. Funerals are a time of distress and raw feelings and to wear something out of the ordinary, as far as your family, any family for that matter, is concerned, could well cause unnecessary upset.

I am sorry, but I have to say this to you all. I don't know if you have Scots connections to fall back on, or kilt wearing is just a new thing that you have taken to, but a funeral is the one place not to show off at. There really are times when wearing the kilt should take second place to the occasion and wearing the kilt to a funeral may not be the most sensitive thing to do in some circumstances.
