Eric,

Dressing in red was/is apparently the accepted dress for funerals in some African(-American) traditions (I don't pretend to know the details of this!). This is also mentioned in John Hurt's song Louis Collins:

When they heard that Louis was dead
All the women folk they dressed in red
Angels laid him away
