Buddhism has adapted to different cultures in different places; it did not start out with any particular rituals around death -- since it was an anti-ritual sort of religion. However, different cultures have different customs. If attending a funeral of an American Buddhist you should wear what Americans wear to funerals. Aside from that, you would be wise to ask a member of the family, the Buddhist group, or a close friend of the deceased for advice.
