I don't know about 4-6 months, but it's the cultural norm for me to not let anyone in my house for at least a month after someone in their family died. Similarly, I am not supposed to go to anyone's house for that same amount of time if someone in my family died. I'm not particularly superstitious, but it keeps my parents happy, so I abide by it.
