because
some people believe that if you don't stop a clock during someones death then their spirit will haunt you and you cover mirrors so that the person that is dead's soul doesn't get trapped within the mirror. This is what I think. I am not sure if this is true though.
Not sure about the mirror covering, however the true meaning of stopping the clock is because back in history people generally died in their own home and doctors sometimes lived many towns away, so in order to give the doctor the exact time of death, people would stop their clocks.
Actually, it's more about allowing people their own time and place to mourn. You stop the clocks so that they don't feel they have to leave at a specific time - just when it feels right for them. And you cover the mirrors so that they don't see themselves looking sad or get distracted by their own appearance. Of course, over time the customs have gathered folklore to go with them as well.
Because they always need water

Clocks are mechanical devices that keep track of time based on their internal mechanisms. If your clocks are not stopping, it may indicate that they are functioning properly. If you are trying to stop the clocks manually, you may need to refer to the clock's instruction manual or consult a professional to assist you with that.

Clocks may stop working for several reasons, such as a dead battery, mechanical failure, or damage to the internal components. If a clock stops working, it may be repairable depending on the cause of the issue.
