White is associated with spirituality, truth and above all Purity. So, it is somewhat related to all sacred things. Hence all wear white to show respect for the departed on the occasion.

Hindus believe that after a person is dead his soul is at peace and is free from all material and worldly desires. So to represent this idea Hindus wear white to funerals.

BUT, please note that it is not just Hindus that wear White. As part of the common culture in the Indian subcontinent, people from Most Religions wear white to show respect at funerals or other ceremonies.

Nope but rishis (holy men) and even Buddhist monks are seen in orange garments. These has something to do with colour spectrum as orange doesn't absorb uv light and other forms of radiation as readily as purple which absorbs them more. Thus a Monk/Rishi can maintain calm and tranquility more easily by wearing orange and not absorbing these unecessary energies.
