Also, Kohanim cannot enter the graveyard to mourn after the funeral of the immediate family member. The corpse of a Kohen is buried, usually close to the outside of the graveyard so that family members (sons who are also Kohanim) can visit the headstone after the ceremony.

The reason behind this is because they’re dirty things that crawl around on the bottom of the ocean and eat crap. Really. Same reason Jews don’t eat bugs. Shellfish are considered dirty and pose health risks. When the Torah was written, before modern science, these laws were made to protect the health of the population. Since pigs are also considered fairly dirty animals (true or not) we are also prohibited from eating them (now we know to cook the meat fully etc.). Same basic reason — cleanliness & health.

From there the rabbis have interpreted that no meat should be mixed with any milk. That means chicken & beef (meat) cannot be eaten at the same time as any dairy products. So you couldn’t have meatloaf and then ice cream for desert. Fish and eggs, oddly enough are not considered meat or dairy! Aside from these weird little factoids, the point of the rule was to have a little more respect for the animal we are eating. The laws of kashrut are not only for purity of food, but also with a mind for humane treatment of animals. It just seems kinda gross to have the calf cooked with it’s mother’s product, no?
