Work, as in CPA firm, or a machine shop? Might make a difference.
Dress has been surprisingly casual at the ones I've attended in recent years, even where the deceased and family/friends were white collar. Very few suits, and often just a handful of coats or ties.
Most visitations are even more casual. I've seen nurse scrubs, shorts and crocs, you name it.
I'm pro casual in general, but even I am often surprised at what folks wear to funerals these days.

I want everyone to wear what they wore on their wedding day for my funeral. The women should thank me for giving them an opportunity to wear their overpriced dress one more time.

Slutty.
Have you ever seen wedding crashers?

If its close family, a suit.
If its not, blazer, button down, khakis.

Depends on the deceased and family of deceased.
Funerals are for the living, not the dead.

Last funeral I went to I wore a black suit, black button-down, no tie, and kinda felt overdressed compared to everyone else.

My uncle passed and his daughter told us the funeral would be casual. I wore a dark suit, white dress shirt with cufflinks, silver tie and black dress shoes. That is as casual as I get at a funeral. I did wear some football themed socks though, not to be casual but just bc he liked football.
I've been to quite a few funerals where folks were asked to wear a certain color that meant something to the deceased. A good friend asked folks to wear bright colors or florals because her husband loved the beach and wore Hawaiian shirts a lot. I asked folks to wear red because my hubby was a huge Alabama fan. That kind of stuff is reasonably common, especially if the deceased isn't really old. But it's not casual..just meaningful.
With no instructions, just not a super bright color, nice slacks or dress for women and at the very least dress pants and a nice shirt for men. Older men usually wear a dress shirt and tie and younger sometime just wear a nice shirt.

Often times with visitations people are leaving work for a few minutes to come by and offer their condolences to the family or stopping by right after work. I understand why they may not be "formally" dressed in that instance (even though I plan ahead and dress nice even though I'm just stopping in quickly for a visitation).
But if you are attending the funeral service wear a damn suit and tie to show respect for both the deceased and their family. Sure, it may not be "comfortable", but it's not about you.

I would never attend a funeral in anything other than a dark suit.

As mentioned, lots of variables involved.
Standard for me is slacks, starched shirt and blazer.
Again, depending on the situation.

I went to a younger person's funeral once who was a big sports fan. They specifically asked everyone to wear their favorite sports teams jersey/shirt in his honor. Unless it's like that, you wear a suit/tie.
