Grey or navy would be fine. Wear it with a white shirt and black shoes and socks. If you have a solid black tie, good, but a black and white or grey pattern will also do perfectly well. No one will expect you to have a black suit unless you're working for the undertaker.

How should men dress for a funeral? Black is the #1 color, grey or navy is OK, Navy blazer with grey pants is OK.

All these answers about suit color and really you don't have to wear a suit at all. Dress pants or Khaki's with a nice sweater will work just as well. If you own a dark suit by all means wear it, but don't feel obligated to buy one just for a funeral

Dress nice if your in direct contact to the one who died wear all black like brother sister son. if not dress nice it doesn't have to be all black but suit pants shirt and maybe even a jacket depends on relation.

Black is not only the prefered color,but it shows the surviving family members that your sympathizing on their behalf.It's just generally good funeral protocol.
Plus black is sharp looking.

Dark suit is fine. Navy, grey, even dark brown all perfectly fine.

I guess black is the best, but oxford gray and even navy would be ok..... a dark tie would be fine as well.

Traditionally everyone should be in black, however if the family has asked you to wear another color (usually white- and usually when a small child dies) then it is polite to wear what is asked.
