Can a retired military pallbearer use their dress blues when the deseased isn’t military?

My boyfriend has been chosen to be a pallbearer for my dad, who did not serve in the military. He is a retired Marine and wants to know if my mom would like him to wear his dress blues for the funeral. I understand that pallbearers have a dress code. For our grandma's funeral, my two cousins did not wear theirs, but my boyfriend has a great deal of respect for my dad. I want to understand if wearing his dress blues would violate any dress code. Additionally, my family is Roman Catholic, and there’s a superstition about not wearing red at all, which poses a concern since his uniform incorporates red.

Since the deceased is not military, it is inappropriate to wear a uniform.

Your father wasn’t in the military, no one else will be wearing a uniform so your bf needs to just wear a suit like everyone else. It isn’t breaking a dress code it is just trying not to stand out so people respect your father
