Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Placebo (at funeral)
I don't think this author understands the purpose of the Office of the Dead; it is in the Psalter and is not a formal ritual for the public. To take this and extrapolate to this means someone seeking to get food and drink at funerals is a hoax. Laughable. Has this author been reading Lindsey Davis? This sort of thing went on in pre-Christian ancient Rome with its professional mourners. This article is a complete hoax with no verifiability. The OED gives an Ecclesiastical context for this term.  ''1.1 Eccl. In the Latin rite: The name commonly given to Vespers in the Office for the Dead, from the first word of the first antiphon (Placebo Domino in regione vivorum, Ps. cxiv. 9, Vulg.). '' It means this is used for worship, not funerary rites nor wakes. Fails verifiable evidence.
