I second. It  defies any thrifty logic to think that our forebears would 
spend the time  and energy to fabricate a door that was used only to haul a 
corpse out of  the house every 25 years.

What, pray tell, is a mourning door?

for  moving a casket out of a parlor





And why (and how) is this door different from all other doors?  Are  
members of the non-deceased community enjoined from using such a door except  in 
the course of pall-bearing?  I didn't think so. I vote bullshit. But  will 
strike my runny colors if you provide a period reference to this.
