Question
If someone prayed Shacharit in the house of mourning and Tachanun was not recited there, should he complete it later at home?
Answer
Tachanun does not need to be completed, but the prayer "Vehu Rachum" should be completed, although some are lenient even regarding "Vehu Rachum".

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 131, S"K 20: "This applies to all seven days, and the reason is that at this time the attribute of judgment is directed upon him, and therefore one should avoid strengthening the attribute of judgment, as is the reason for not falling on one's face at night [Levush]. And even after he leaves the house, there is no need to say that Tachanun must be immediately after the Shemoneh Esrei prayer, as mentioned at the beginning of the siman, but "Vehu Rachum" should be said later at home, although some are lenient in this.
