When a person passes away, his or her immediate family members (parents, siblings, spouse, children), enter a seven day mourning period following the burial. While in mourning, these family members are not supposed to focus on personal vanity - how they look - therefore, the mirrors in the shivah house, the home in which the seven initial days of mourning are observed, are covered.
