Black or dark colors is most appropriate.
But out of the two outfits you named I'd go with the second.
Sorry for your loss.

If you wear these clothes to a sad, somber event like a funeral, you won't have anything to wear to a picnic at the lake!
wearing dark colors is a reflection of your emotions for the situation. Dark and conservative for a funeral, save the flowers for easter and parties.

Either sounds appropriate.
Without being able to see I can't give a definite answer.
In general any outfit that is tasteful and subdued is fine. Anything flashy, immodest, and designed to draw attention to yourself is not appropriate. The focus should be on honoring the deceased and comforting the family, not showing off.
Whichever outfit will be comfortable for you and allow you to not feel self-conscious, rather aware of others' needs/feelings is fine.
My condolences and sympathies.

A grey, black or navy blue suit would be most appropriate. But out of the two outfits I'd select number 2.
I'm sorry for your loss.

I think either outfit would be alright. Ask yourself which one would look better to you for a funeral. You would want it to be appropriate but not overly where attention my be on you rather than the funeral.

They both sound just fine to wear to a funeral- Theres is not a dress code really anymore as long as your not wearing clubbing clothes or beach wear.

Neither. Traditionally you wear black at a funeral. Wear a simple white blouse with a black suit, if you have one, or black skirt and jacket. If you do not have suitable black clothes wear something neat and discreet, certainly not floral patterns or bright clothes unless the deceased requested it. A funeral is a time of mourning and although it is good to remember joyful times it is also the last stage of the grieving process. Please don't treat it frivolously.
