Gina covering mirrors after a death is a Jewish custom as well. Plus no shoes in the house. It's called "sitting Shiva". The house where I live now is filled with mirrors. My hallway has 7 doors and4 mirrors. My daughter called it the 3 stooges hallway because of the slapstick routines they did involving doors. Only 2 rooms in the house have no mirrors. The room my mother and daughter passed in and the kitchen.
