Sin Eater
The Deluxe Afterlife Package:
The sin-eater was selected (or possibly self-appointed) from the most detestable in the community. An ugly, decrepit, wretch. Upon the death of a person of prestige, the sin-eater would make an appearance outside the home of the recent dead. As the body, or casket, was carried out of the home, the procession would stop to pay homage to the sin-eater. Members of the departed’s family would pass bread, a wooden bowl of beer, and sixpence over the corpse and into the hands of the waiting sin-eater. The sin-eater would physically take the food and spiritually impart upon himself the sins of the dead person. they also prevented the dead from becoming the undead..but that cost more..
