Hence, China’s celebrated professional mourners involve in otherworldly crying, along with dancing acts and karaoke numbers, blending ancient tradition with modern Chinese society. Crying or displaying emotion in public is socially not acceptable except in mourning in that country. In China, however, it’s still an important status symbol to show the community that a large crowd participated in the funeral. In ancient Rome, the professional mourners were only for the wealthy class who would hire large number of such mourners. I further learnt from the net that the ancient Egyptians also hired female professional mourners who were prohibited from having any children themselves.

The prevalence of age-old custom of hiring moirologists or professional mourners by the relatives of the deceased person exists in some parts of the world even to this day. They would mourn over the dead body for days and sometimes even take part in funeral customs as per an ancient tradition that ultimately died out in that country in the 1950s due to the influence of the Catholic Church, which deemed the practice as inappropriate and even families engaged in keening started to regard it as a backward-thinking culture.

Mourning is a sorrowful event and customs and traditions followed by mourners differ from place to place. Obviously, the periods of mourning had been variable I recollected that I had mourned the death of those very close to me for a longer period than the death of those not so close. The superlative degree of the adjective ‘happy’ as the consequence of ‘exposures’ of three words in the clue of 1a provided me with some sort of happiness, while the answer of 13a took me down memory lane and I proceeded to reminisce my very own moments of mourning at different stages of my life.
