Barely acceptable. It's a verb not a noun, an activity not a place. amenity=place_of_mourning > Acceptable. Some would say mourning could happen anywhere, and not necessarily for the dead. But those people miss an important fact about English: an arrangement of words may have a different meaning from the literal interpretation of the individual words. Compare with "listed building" which means a structure (not necessarily a building) which is under the legal protection of a national heritage organization. amenity=mourning_room > Unacceptable. "Mourning room" was the old name for what is now known as a "living room" (and was also known as a "parlour"), A room in somebody's house which was pressed into use for the display of a corpse when needed. amenity=viewing_arrangements > This is a verb, not a noun. It is the process by which plans are made to look at a corpse, not the place where the corpse is viewed. In American English it has taken on a meaning different from a literal interpretation of the individual words, but we use British English in OSM. amenity=deceased_viewing > That almost works. But it's a verb not a noun, an activity not a place. With additional words it could work, but it would be rather inelegantly named. -- Paul
