According to several news reports, there is a company in the United Kingdom called Rent-a-Mourner that will send mourners for hire to attend funerals. For only $68, the company will send an appropriate mourner to your funeral. Customers are promised the employee will be discrete. The actors are given a briefing on the basic facts of the decedent’s life. With this information, he or she can just mingle with the rest of those attending the service. Most of us would hope we had touched enough other lives in a positive way that such a business would not be needed.
