My father's brother recently passed away at a young age. I have heard that if a relative passes away you are not supposed to do somethings for 1 year. What are we not supposed to do? For example, I remember some of my friends not being able to celebrate Diwali.

This is largely dependent on your culture, and where you live. I'm Jewish, and we refrain from celebrations of all sorts for a year when a close family member dies. At the end of the year, there is usually a small observance for the placement of the headstone or other marker at the burial site; thereafter, we remember our loved ones each year near the date of their death with a "yahrzeit" - a Yiddish word literally meaning "year's time," lighting a candle and repeating the mourner's prayers.
My sympathies on your loss.

Normally whenever any close relative passes away, no celebrations are held in the family for an year. Similarly the close relatives of the deceased refrain from particip;ating any celebration or function. However,there is no hard and fast rule for the same and depend upon the relationship and love you have with the deceased. in normal course such cyustom is being observed when father, mother, brothersister, son or daughter dies

depends on what culture you are. if you are indian, go to google and look up customs. people do not have weddings and big celecbrations in some cultures after the death of a clodse family member. others have huge parties to celebrate the persons dying and crossing over to the other side. google your culture and find out better what is expected from you. do your parents not tell you this? ask them.

If you are Jewish, you would 'cover' all of the mirrors in the house for a period of time (the length depends on what 'kind' of Jew you are, and what synagogue you go to). I suppose that in some cultures you are not suppose to take part in a 'relgious ceremony' of 'feasting' or 'celebration' for an amount of time.
My husband's mother just died ... it's 'sad' but we are going to her memorial service, and then we are going out for a 'gourmet meal' ... his mom was a 'diner cook' and this is our way of saying a 'happy goodbye' to this wonderful woman.

It depends on your culture and belief. For my culture, we don't have to NOT do anything...we just don't do anything during the rosary and funeral...like party out or go to the clubs or things of that nature...we can still celebrate x-mas, and all other holidays.

Yes- you are not supposed to do for 1 year - you must not go to temples - & you must not celebrate festivals.

You're not supposed to say their name.
And you aren't supposed to give their name to a newborn, either.
