Another practice of ours that was adopted by early (and later) Christians is the practice of punishing suicides by not allowing them to be buried in a proper cemetery and punishing the family by not allowing them to mourn for the suicide.
However, I will grant that there are some differences. For example, under early Church law, a failed suicide would be executed. We would not do that (as there is apparently no punishment in the Torah for attempted murder. We would just release the attempted suicide to try again). Likewise, in many jurisdictions, a suicide’s property was forfeit; we do not do that as well, as we allow a suicide’s estate to pass on to his heirs as in a “normal” death.
