The answer

There is no harm in the family of the deceased standing in rows at the graveyard to facilitate receiving condolences. However, it is disliked for them to wear clothes that distinguish them from others, because that might indicate impatience and excessive grief. The predecessors did not do this, and it contradicts patience.
