2) If you often wear a kilt (like that is your form of dressing up or what you typically wear to significant events), then it is probably okay to wear it, as long as the rest of the ensemble is somber and toned down.
3) If you occasionally wear a kilt, I think you'd be hard-pressed to justify wearing it to a funeral unless it was the expected attire of the attendees (like the funeral of a clan chief or of a fellow kiltie).
I'm with SD on this one. And since I rarely attend the funerals of strangers, and everyone I know expects me to be kilted, #1 mostly applies to me.
