Yes. Yes, you should bring pants.
Just because a casket lid is usually closed on the foot end doesn’t mean you can’t see or that nosy people won’t poke around and look. Also, think about how embarrassing it’ll be for your loved one as they attend ghost parties with no bottoms. Shameful.
On that note, there are no requirement about what dead people have to wear in their caskets. You want to be dressed in a suit? Fine. Pajamas? That’s okay too. Superhero costume? You do you! All we ask is that it fits reasonably well (though we can improvise with a few alterations) and that it covers anything that needs covering (autopsy incision, trauma etc). When in doubt, go for something long sleeved and high necked. Make your wishes known to your family!

CW: Do dead bodies have to wear bras?
#FuneralFactFriday: Bras Aren't Mandatory
Don't want to wear a bra for eternity? No problem! Just let your family know your wishes (and obviously, threaten to haunt them if they don't listen). Embalmers may give suggestions about the most ideal clothing for a family to bring in, but we're more concerned about concealing unpleasant things than about style or impropriety. Most of us will happily dress you in your ensemble of choice. Pajamas, superhero costume, formal business suit with lacey silk undies beneath - it's all good!
Back to the bra situation. We have ways of securing chest parts so they don't end up in your armpits. Duct tape holds everything in place during embalming, then the tissue firms into place and stays put. Weird spots can be filled in with cotton fluff, or my personal favorite: if a woman's clothes include shoulder pads, I remove them (otherwise she'll look like a football player in the casket), then I tuck the shoulder pads into the bra or over the chest area for a smooth curve.
Back in the day, some embalmers used a giant needle and string to suture the chest parts together! Ugh...barbaric. Nowadays, we have more women embalmers and more creative solutions.
Got implants? We leave them alone. There's no need for us to mess with them. If you're cremated, they'll burn up with you. If you're buried, there's no predictable way to know exactly how they'll outlast your embalmed but slowly decomposing body. So, that meme with the implants on top of a skeletal rib cage? If your skin, muscles, and other tissues are gone, then any surviving silicone ball will likely just slide or roll down to the sides of the casket.
