Cords, linen collarless shirt, green tweed waistcoat, 8-hole oxblood Docs.
Exactly what I’m wearing now.
To quote Frasier Crane:
“…at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. …if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn’t be able to locate my interest in” what I wear to my own funeral.
mmm
I also plan to be cremated, but should it not come to that, I’d probably like to be adorned in a light blue dress shirt, wearing the one Jerry Garcia tie I have, in a dark blue sport coat that I especially like to wear on occasion, and casual slacks, perhaps even jeans.
A friend of mine died about 30 years ago. He was an artist and never dressed formally. The occasional sport coat yes, but never a suit. His family had him dressed in a sweater and casual slacks. I encountered a few people who were surprised, shocked even, that he wasn’t dressed in a suit. I was tempted to reply “Mark wouldn’t be caught dead in a suit.” I resisted, but Mark would have appreciated the joke.
As an aside, a spooky thing happened that day, an especially sad day for me. He and I often shared jokes about “Dr. Strangelove.” When I came home, I switched on HBO, right before they ran their feature presentation, ready to watch anything to be a distraction. Their feature presentation was… “Dr. Strangelove.”
I came into this World naked and covered in s**t, and I…but you can guess the rest
My earthly remains are to be cremated, so I guess I’ll just make an ash of myself!
Disclaimer: don’t care, and really won’t care on that day, but in the spirit of the thread…
I have a very vampiric black top, with a sweetheart neckline, ornate silver buttons down the front, and long tight sleeves with transparent black fabric spilling from the cuffs. That, plus a long black skirt, ought to do me if I get up to any spooky mischief in the afterlife.
Having just seen him Monday resplendent in this outfit, it’d be a crying shame to burn those boots up. A country song would have to be written about it~Willie, the man in black or the Highwaymen, sung poignantly as the container slides slowly into the furnace.

Also donating what crepitude is useful but otherwise a T-shirt with, “Anyone else think it’s getting hotter in here?”.
When they put you into the broiler at the crematorium, are you wearing anything? If so, I’d hope it’s something that burns up quickly and not just forms globs of molten rayon or polyester.
In this same spirit, I think I’ll take a page from my late husband’s wishes, which for reasons I won’t go into I was unable to honor.
A tee shirt with, “I told you I was sick.”
I know this is not original, but it still cracks me up.
I, too, plan to be cremated, and in addition to the tee-shirt, I have an authentic, full-length, black Kinsale cloak that I would like to have burned with me if possible. Though it might inspire someone to drive a wooden stake through my heart before we get on to the conflagration part of the proceedings.
My will expressly states that my funeral arrangements (if any) are at the sole discretion of my heirs. The funeral isn’t for the deceased, it’s for the bereaved. If they want to have me taxidermied and dress me in a clown suit that’s fine with me (and they all know how much I hate clowns).
ETA: But if I know my daughter she will probably arrange some kind of Viking funeral where they torch my boat and set me adrift. If that’s even legal.
Moderating:
This is pretty much a perfect exemplar of thread shitting. If you have no interest in the topic, please find another thread to post in.
Geeky?

Closed casket, suit for me.
Yes! I have four Geeky Jerseys: three Star Wars ones, and a Bill & Ted one.
I have three of their Star Wars ones, two of which are customized (name & #); plus about a dozen others from them, many of which are also customized.
In honor of one of my favorite cosplayers, I wish to be dressed as either Captain Kangaroo or Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott.
All four of mine are customized, too. The Star Wars ones have the surname I’ve used for several of my characters in Star Wars role-playing games (the Bill & Ted “Wyld Stallyns” one has my own name), and all of them have number 82, which was the number of my favorite Green Bay Packer, tight end Paul Coffman.
My two customized Star Wars ones are Artoo / D2 & CeeThree / PO 
Burial via Composting is a thing now in VA, so that’s my choice. I suppose I could wear anything made from natural fibers. Jeans and a roomy t-shirt would be great for the viewing, which I presume must occur just before they put you into the composter…
