Any room could be used. I don't think this counts as a mappable amenity. Most people, though, use a permanent mourning facility, usually with several viewing/mourning rooms because people do not die on schedule one at a time.<div><br></div><div>Peter Elderson<br><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">Op 5 nov. 2020 om 19:56 heeft Joseph Eisenberg <joseph.eisenberg@gmail.com> het volgende geschreven:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">I'm not able to find any website which clearly talks about a specific "mourning room", though it is certainly documented that the front room of a house, often known as a "parlour" at the time, would be used to view the corpse of a deceased family member.
