Yep, so the meanings behind the attire itself is the same, but the colors for those meanings are different. XD But if you think about it dead people even in Europe would be wrapped in a white cloth in ancient times, so why black became a thing I don't know. And even at hospitals and stuff more recent in time they used white sheets to cover the dead, not black. And black is worn to morn the death of a person (seen this in animes as well just don't know why). So it kind of seems conflicting in the Western World and thus America. x'D
