There are several laws pertaining to whether, and how, one should inform others of a person's death. Additionally, several laws of mourning depend upon when one first hears of the death of his/her relative.
Informing one of the death of a relative
- One should not tell someone that one of his or her relatives died; however, if he’s asked, one may not lie but should say something vague which implies this. [1] Nowadays, the practice is to tell close relatives of the deceased in order that they would be able to attend the Levayan (funeral). Some put up signs informing people about a person’s death. [2]
