Mourner
A mourner is someone who is attending a funeral or who is otherwise recognized as in a period of grief and mourning prescribed either by religious law or by popular custom. 〔(''Mourner'' definition ) at Merriam-Webster〕 Many cultures expect mourners to curtail certain activities, usually those considered frivolous or that are accompanied by expressions of joy. ==History== Historically, some cultures have employed professional mourners to make a public showing of grief to honor the deceased (particularly those in the Near East).〔Footnote 1 in Sabar, Y.
