The service includes the funeral, the wake & the burial.
Sorry to hear about your friends loss, & I hope everything goes well. Your friend needs you a ton right now, so be her shoulder to cry on, and everything else that she needs.

I would suggest wearing a dress, and one that'd obviously be appropriate for this type of occasion. Just a nice, simple outfit. And nothing bright, either. Darker colors ( most people usually wear black ) work.
So maybe go through your closet and look at the choices, and maybe even ask your mother or someone for help who might know what's appropriate and what's not and you can get their opinion.

Don't wear bright colors, and I would advise you to wear a dress if possible. A dress in a darker color (but not black) is appropriate.
