Professional mourning or paid mourning is an occupation that originates from Egyptian, Chinese, Mediterranean and Near Eastern cultures. Professional mourners, also called moirologists[1] and mutes, are compensated to lament or deliver a eulogy and help comfort and entertain the grieving family. Mentioned in the Bible[2] and other religious texts, the occupation is widely invoked and explored in literature, from the Ugaritic epics of early centuries BC[3] to modern poetry.
