Where rules are not mutally understood, naïve and hapless individuals can be tricked into chiseling their lives away by sitting down to coffee with "stonecutters", answering a few ambiguous questions and shaking hands at the reception after the service.Almost as ominous is a group of people to whom I will refer as "the mutual support girls". They can be guys too.The thing that distinguishes this GROUP is that they never knew the deceased individual.They may never have even seen the person.They claim they are simply there to throw their support behind a member of the deceased person's family.You can be wary that someone present is about to be "auctioned off" by "stonecutters" and they are present to share in the supposed benefits.A third type of person/scenario of which to beware is the person who approaches someone out of the blue and insists on shaking his/her hand, often prolonging the grip.NOTE scene in film 'Crash' where senior cop and rookie cop shake hands,and rookie freaks out
