Question
Is it necessary to conceal the tzitzit at a woman's funeral and at her grave due to mockery of the poor?
Answer
There is no need to conceal them, and it is not considered mockery of the poor because in her lifetime she was exempt from the mitzvah of tzitzit. It is only necessary to conceal them near a man because it is mockery of the deceased who was obligated in this mitzvah and can no longer fulfill this important mitzvah.
