This... if OP has an office job and has black outfits she wears at work, she'd be fine. Getting one dress and wearing it with a different jacket or sweater is also fine. Dark gray or blue is also fine.

+1. Black pants and a dark top. Modest jewelry.

I arrived for a weekend away in Jersey from DC on a Friday night and immediately found out I had to go to a funeral in Connecticut on that Monday. I went to a big Marshalls and found like eight appropriate dresses that I chose from.

Uniqlo had some black dresses today, but they were made out of sweater material so will probably be too warm. You can definitely wear black dress pants to at least one event.

This. I wore a dress that was black/plum color blocking to my uncle's funeral years ago bc at the time it was all that I had that fit. I wouldn't wear hot pink, but as long as it's dark (espresso, plum, navy, gray, etc.) you're good.

Was just going to say I went to TJ Maxx and found a black wrap dress for $24.99 that was totally appropriate. Might want to go try stuff quickly or, as other said, just wear black pants and cardigan or jacket.

At the funerals I’ve been to in the last few years most people wore something understated but not necessarily black in case that’s any help.
