Where thou diest, I will die, and there will be buried. The LORD do so and so to me, except that death only depart thee and me asunder."

There shall not one visit another, to mourn with them for their dead, or to comfort them. One shall not offer another the cup of consolation, to forget their heaviness for father and mother.

Then the children of Israel and all the people went up and came unto Bethel, and wept and sat there before the LORD, and fasted the same day unto evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

Thou mayest mourn by thyself alone, but use no deadly lamentation. Hold on thy bonnet, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, cover not thy face, and eat no mourner's bread."

Like as I have done, so shall ye do also: Ye shall not hide your faces, ye shall eat no mourner's bread;
