I would do a simple updo. I think the knot in your avatar is lovely!
I'm going to a funeral after easter (old lady, not too close emotionally to me but to my mother) and I want to "dress up" as a sign for respect. I'm probably going to wear dress pants, a long sleaved shirt and a jacket (in toned down colours), but what to do with my hair..?

I'd say probably a very simple bun worn on the low side without a whole lot of sparkly decorative hairtoys. Just something quiet, demure and respectful that doesn't draw a lot of attention to itself.

As simple as possible and with simple hair toys as well, nothing fancy, that usually works best. A cinnamon bun, a braided bun held with only invisible pins or similar, would probably be my choice.
I agree with everyone else; simple is best in this instance.
Keep accessories to a minimum. Nothing flashy or sparkly.
Understated is always best for an occasion like this.
I personally don't think accessories would be appropriate. I would just pin it.
The last funeral I went to, (my husbands fathers) I wore my hair in a french twist held with a black fakarre. I think french twists are a very dressed up yet low key hairstyle. It seemed to work out.
I would suggest a french twist as others have said.
As several others have said, I'd suggest a French twist. You also might do a low knot of some kind, or maybe a pinned-under French braid. I'd say use either hairpins or a simple hair toy, like a plain fork/stick or dark clip.
I also don't know how long your hair is, but even some kind of nape-of-the-neck braided bun (using, as said, a plain stick or fork or clip or perhaps pins) would also be appropriate, to my mind.
HTH!

Any bun without fancy sparkling toys will do, I think. The easier the better... maybe a sleek sock bun or a cinnamon bun? Or an infinity bun - would be a nice symbol, even if no one else will notice
Best would be if itīs secured invisible, or with a dark wooden fork/stick without too much carving or other decoration on.
Braided buns are lovely and classical but Iīm not sure if itīs good to wear them at a funeral. They often lead into a conversation about hairstyling, maybe because they are a rare sight around here... not sure how thatīs in your area. But when I wear a braided bun itīs attracting interest, while a cinnamon for example is completely ignored most of the time. Just something to consider
