C
In Judaism, burial should be done within 24 hours of death, although this may be extended to 48 hours in special circumstances. Cremation is forbidden. There is a 7-day period of mourning called shivah that begins the day of the funeral. Some Jews customarily do not shave during this time and may cover mirrors. Fasting is associated with Yom Kippur and with minor holidays, but not with death.
