Mario, just show up, the funeral director will tell you what to do, and his assistants should do most of the work. It's an honor to be asked, it's mostly symbolic these days since you don't really carry the casket to the church or the cemetary, but you are serving to "carry" your uncle to his final resting place.

I don't recommend that you wear a shirt and tie with no coat unless you are Sipowicz

Do yourself a favor, pick up a new suit. It'll be bad if you're the guy not sporting a nice suit

Where is Sip?

Hopefully you're a struggling full-time college student .. Otherwise, you're in need of re-prioritizing

this

I haven't been to many funerals in a long time, fortunately, but I can't even remember the last time I saw pall bearers actually carry a coffin. Mostly it's just an honorary position; your name is listed on the little memories pamphlet, and you sit as a group near the front. You might walk alongside the coffin as it's wheeled out on a gurney...

Grunt like your brother when you lift it.

Wear whatever nice clothes that you have and are comfortable in. If you have minimal use for a suit then it's a waste of money. A nice button up shirt and slacks should be acceptable. It's the thought and paying your respects that count.
