What rules should one follow when attending a Thai Buddist funeral service (in California)?

Give money and no bright clothings.

If I attend a funeral here in Thailand, I wear dark coloured trousers and either a white or black shirt.

Been to several in Thailand, and it was an experience. They dress respectfully, family actually walks in a procession holding on to a rope. tArriving at crematorium they walk a certain direction around the crematorium. Following the coffin right into the burner. They for the most part do not get very emotional, not surprising to me now. Seen them playing cards and some whiskey drinking etc.

I know Thai lived there and love the people. Married Thai for over 33 years, can you top that one???
