What other pagan mourning rituals were the Hebrew to avoid?

Lévitique 19:28 (NEG79)

28 Vous ne ferez point d'incisions dans votre chair pour un mort, et vous n'imprimerez point de figures sur vous. Je suis l'Eternel.

The Israelites were not to practise self-immolation, that is, giving themselves up as a sacrifice. Nor were they to bear tattoos (kᵉṯō’ḇěṯ). The word tattoo refers to a writing incision.
