People who do not have anyone to cry for them when they die, hire mourners from us - Nigerian mortician

Kalu Ben Chima a mortuary proprietor in Cross River State, has revealed that he rents out crowd of women, who engage in bogus weeping when a person dies. He said the women were part of a specialized funeral services he offers.
He explained: “Some people do not have people to cry for them when they die, so they will arrange with us while they are alive to get some women to cry during their burial.”

He also confessed to Vanguardngr that some dead bodies are so “powerful” such that they do not allow others to lie close to them and he was always careful when attending to such bodies.
His words: “Some powerful people do not allow other dead bodies to lie close to them, so in the night, they will remove other bodies near them and dump them far from where they are or they would go to an isolated place and lie there – all dead bodies are not the same, which is why we knock before we enter the mortuary.”
