Yazid heard the crying and he asked his men what had happen , they told him a child of Imam Hussein wants her father , so he ordered them to take her father's head to her and it was kept in a golden tray.

I think it is actually sunnah to have a "sutrah" - something in front of you when there is a massive amount of space, but this is not practiced much from what I hear.
and I have heard of the stones thing elsewhere and while I am not sure I think it was to do with shias. Hence the brackets - I was not sure.

Cos its a Shia mosque (and shrine, there are hundreds of pilgrims from Iran there).
And the stone is from Karbala in modern-day Iraq. Shia have to put their forehead on land from Karbala when they pray.
