This article should seriously be considered for deletion.
It is poorly referenced and needs more and diverse original sources not just one. It also needs more actual sources around 19th century mourning customs and more geographic specificality as there are some cultures where actual documented customs have some relationship to these [essentially fictitious and modern] descriptions of these practices
