Mourners wore white, which was considered the colour of death in ancient Egypt (as it was in Imperial China). The mourners did not wear any jewellery or adornment, just simple white garments.
It also seems from wall paintings as if some of the mourners were professionals, or choreographed in some way, as they appear to be following ritual movements, gestures and wailing.
On the other hand, most of these paintings show funerals of royal or very important and wealthy people, who could afford a really impressive funeral. It's unlikely ordinary people could afford professional funeral goers. But practically everyone could afford a simple garment of linen or wool.
