But in the West, it is the new trend. People are just now discovering that hiring professional mourners is a great way to make others remember you fondly, at your funeral.
Owen Vaughan, a professional mourner in London was interviewed by Cracked about his job. According to him the occupation is similar to that of actors and before every ‘gig’ you have to do a character study and immerse yourself in the role in order to play a convincing part. He added that sometimes family members and those hiring are very particular about what they want in his performance and some even direct him to ‘cry harder’ during the service. Owen also talked about his services and how they are hired by people from all faiths; Jews, Christians, Muslims.
