Professional mourning : ウィキペディア英語版
Professional mourning

Professional mourning or paid mourning is a mostly historical occupation practiced in Mediterranean and Near Eastern cultures and many other parts of the world. Professional mourners, also called moirologists, are compensated to lament or deliver a eulogy. Mentioned in the Bible, the occupation is widely invoked in literature, from the Ugaritic epics of early centuries BC to modern poetry. Held in high esteem in some cultures and times, the practice was vilified in others.
==In popular culture==
In Honoré de Balzac's landmark 1835 novel ''Le Père Goriot'', the title character's funeral is attended by two professional mourners rather than his daughters.〔Balzac, Honoré de. ''Father Goriot''. (The Works of Honoré de Balzac. Vol. XIII.) Philadelphia: Avil Publishing Company, 1901.〕 The 1993 Indian film ''Rudaali'', directed by Kalpana Lajmi and set in Rajasthan, is about the life of a professional mourner, or ''Rudaali''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.uiowa.edu/~incinema/Rudaali.html )
The short documentary ''Tabaki'' (2001) directed by Bahman Kiarostami, follows the lives of 'mourners for hire'.
