Why is there no aveilus and shiva when a burail is on YT/ Hulu ShelMO'ed [at
leat untli after the Moed is over?

Becuase the Moe'd derabbim is doche the aveilus of the yachid. We do not
want tose celebrating a Mo'ed to be socialyl obligated to visit the aveilim
until the Mo'ed is over so as not to dtract from the mo'ed. {bekoshi hitru
nichum aveilm beshabbos]


AISI here too at a levaya. the hesped  - so important for the  aveilim - is
suspended out of respect for the tzibbur @ large
