Casket Attire: Shorts And A T-Shirt?

What clothes should you wear in your casket?  Something further to think about.

Per P.J. O'Rourke in "Men in Shorts:  There's no fool like an old fool dressed like a young fool":  More and more middle-aged men are no longer wearing suits to work.  Many are wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and not well.  Instead of casual Friday, every work day is casual day now.  "And (we're not getting younger) you can't go to the grave wearing shorts and a t-shirt.  The one place where a dress code reliably obtains is among morticians.  You WILL be wearing a suit when you're dead.  If your family and friends have never seen you in a suit before, there's a chance that you'll be mistaken for the funeral director.  You really don't want people leaning over your casket, asking, "How much is this costing us?"
