Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, "thou shall not weep and eat". It's one of two states that bans food from being served in funeral homes (New Jersey is the other). The law was overturned in 2012 by a federal judge who deemed it unconstitutional, but just two years later, a federal appeals court ruling reinstated the ban. It was originally written into law in 1952 due to safety concerns, but critics argue that isn't a valid argument if precautionary measures are taken. Plus, no one can deny that food helps bring people together during times of grief (and possibly encourage them to stick around funeral homes longer).
