We provide trained, discreet professional mourners anywhere in the UK.

Whether you require mourners to attend a church, crematorium, burial, or a post-service gathering, our team is ready to support you with empathy and care.

A Modern Take on Farewells

In recent years, more people have chosen direct cremation services, such as Pure Cremation, which often means no formal service is held. In these cases, families or close friends may still wish to mark the occasion in their own way—sometimes with a celebration of life or an informal gathering. Whether you want a traditional, somber tone or a cheerful atmosphere at a wake, our mourners can adapt their presence to reflect the mood and wishes of the family.

We know every situation is different. Some clients request minimal interaction, while others prefer our mourners to blend naturally with attendees and contribute to conversations. You decide how involved you would like them to be, and we’ll ensure they are well-prepared to follow your guidance with professionalism and discretion.

How Our Service Began

Our Rent a Mourner offering began with a heartfelt request from a client who had recently lost a close family member. With very few friends or relatives left to attend, he wanted to give his loved one a proper send-off and to remember the day fondly. By hiring a small group of respectful individuals to attend the service, he created a warm and dignified farewell. Since then, we’ve helped others do the same—offering comfort, support, and the sense of a shared goodbye.

Whether you’re arranging a farewell for someone who had a small social circle or simply want a more complete atmosphere for the occasion, our team is here to help.
