What would you wear?

Hi all, let me start by saying that I think I know what I will be wearing for the memorial service for my Uncle next week, I just wanted to get opinions on something. Yesterday was the internment for mu Uncle Murdy, I wore my Grey Braemar and waistcoat, with a white shirt, black tie (full Windsor knot) Isle of Skye 8 yard 16oz Lochcarron wool, black hose, solid bottle green flashes, and my dress sgian dubh.

Next week I will be picking up an 8 yard kilt, that is being rushed out for me, in the MacPherson Red tartan as this was his clan, I will be wearing it to the memorial service. I was planning on wearing it with the Grey Braemar, and waistcoat again, perhaps with a different tie, hose and flashes this time. Here is the question, someone suggested I wear my Prince Charlie to the memorial, what do you think? My mind is just about set against it as I would not don my tuxedo for this occasion, however I would like some input, should I go for the Braemar as planned or re-think the Prince Charlie?

I would stick with the grey Braemar jacket & waistcoat with very muted/somber coloured accessories. You might also see if the funeral home has any black armbands that you could wear to display your mourning.

I think the formal attire would be way to over the top for a memorial service, especially if it's during the day.
