So actual Iranian mourning behavior.
I was once hired to videotape a funeral so that everyone in the home country could see the people here crying hysterically, allowing them to cry as well. I was the perfect videographer. When the fight happened over the casket and one sister tried to close the casket from the other, and the funeral director panicked that they were breaking it, I zoomed in for a closeup.
