Are you perhaps in need of a good mourner for a funeral you’re organising? Someone to add to the drama by flinging themselves onto the casket as it’s lowered into the grave?

Sylvester Moss from Nassau in the Bahamas describes himself as a “professional mourner” and in a recent Facebook post he shared the services he offers and just how much each one would cost you.

And let’s just say it’s hilarious.

As part of his summer special offer, Sylvester will do a normal cry for R662 while a Bahamian holler will set you back R1 324. If you want him to cry and roll on the ground, or even threaten to jump into the grave, you’d have to cough up as much as R2 650.

And for Sylvester to actually jump into the grave? Well, that would cost you almost R13 200. All you have to do is inbox him for booking queries.

His post was shared more than 144 000 times on Facebook alone and has been widely shared on other social media as well.

It also received a great deal of attention on Twitter – some users were particularly impressed by his “crying and actually jumping in the grave” option, while others were enthusiastic about his “Bahamian hollering” offer.

We’re not sure how serious this guys is but he sure got the internet laughing – and scored himself a few bookings to boot!
