The below, it was extracted from the above link, which has the many interesting tidbits relating to the burial practices: 9.04006: Why don’t they put shoes on a person in the casket? Generally, it is often necessary to wiggle one's foot to put on a shoe, which, of course, is not possible. If you bring shoes in to a funeral home and ask that they be put on a person, most funeral homes will do their best to accommodate you. This also may actually be an old tradition that relates to faith and historical traditions. Apparently the funeral industry is unaware of the possibility that the shoes may make the coffins explode. La BellaDonna, she does not discount the possibility that the feets, they may emit the noxious gases, whether the owners thereof are alive or dead, but said gases are not explosive. http://www.uwosh.edu/faculty_staff/hardt/Death%20Questions/Prior%20to%20Burial.htm

They won't bury you with shoes on. It has something to do with the glues/chemicals used in shoe making and the potentiality of exploding coffins and/or noxious gases.

La BellaDonna, she plans to be buried in the dress she made when she was all of the 16 years of age. It is of the very fitted black velvet, with black fur at the wide boat neck, and black fur around the 20-foot hem, and sweeping sleeves lined with red satin (the gown style, it is circa 1475, for the curious). She will wear the black leather poulaines, and the silver belt of the many small placques with the six-petalled roses, and she will wear her waist-length black hair loose. She will also have the full face of makeup, with the instructions to NOT let the mortician make her look "natural," for then no one would recognize the corpse. La BellaDonna, she is also considering wearing her custom fangs to be buried in, for the amusement value, if she should be dug up many years hence by the curious archaeologist. She may be dead, but she still has the sense of humour. La BellaDonna, she supports the Manolo in his elegant choice, and consoles the Talmida with the thought that future generations may indeed have a chance to appreciate the Manolo's magnificence and taste. La BellaDonna, she is very much obliged to the lovely and respected Eleanor of Toledo for being buried in her magnificent gown, which can be appreciated, not only in the paintings of her, but in the depictions in the book of the Janet Arnold. The costume historians, they are very much beholden to the ancestors who have chosen to depart in style. Ah!

It was weirdly funny. She wore nothing but pants, but we found her a dress and accoutreme, and when I picked a "comfy" bra my friend who was helping lost it laughing. We know she would have appreciated the joke. We were always trying to get her to wear a dress once in a while.

Wear the great clothes you love for the viewing but then have someone take them off and give them away to someone who will apprciate them as much as you did. They might not want to mention that a dead person was wearing them, however. I agree with previous posters.
