I quit Sunday school when I was 12, so I missed a lot of the formal teachings! My granparents taught me about the mirrors, and they also taught me that we didn't want to pair flowers, of the living world, with death. Otherwise, when we look at flowers, we'll think of death. (She was sort of right when it comes to Glads!)
I had always thought Judaism was somewhat gentle because of these particular traditions.
