Question
Is there significance in the mourner sitting shiva specifically in the deceased's home?
Answer
There is significance in praying in the deceased's home, specifically if the deceased was over one year old and passed away at home. However, if they passed away in a hospital or were less than one year old, there is no need to pray in their home, and thus one can sit shiva anywhere they wish.
