A "funeral crasher" said she has been to the send-offs of more than 200 strangers.
Jeane Trend-Hill has travelled around the world visiting cemeteries and began attending funerals after accidentally crashing one when she walked into a church as a service was taking place in 2012.
After being a regular visitor to graves, cemetery workers at her local graveyard started to contact Jeane when the deceased didn't have any family or friends - to see if she could attend their funeral.
Now people contact her to ask her to join to make sure no one is cremated or buried alone. She also spends hours photographing and tidying graves.
Jeane, 55, an actress, photographer and artist, from Islington, London, said: "I'm proud to be that person that goes to strangers' funerals when there is no one else who can attend.
"I've always been fascinated with death since I was a child.
"We would go to cemeteries, and I'd walk around looking at all the graves.
"They are like outdoor art galleries.
"I accidentally walked in on a funeral at a church but raised as a Catholic I knew not to leave once there.
"Even though I didn't know the person I was deeply moved.
"When cemetery workers started to invite me to services for veterans who had no one else to pay their respects, I obliged and went along.
"I realised that everyone has a story to tell, everyone has lived a life and should have someone around to remember them when they die."
Jeane lost her father, Joe, 56, when she was just 14 and her mother, Mary, 57, when she was just 20. She, therefore, started to feel at home in cemeteries and crematoriums.
She would spend hours sketching and photographing London's sprawling Victorian cemeteries, and has visited graves all over the world, like in Paris and Venice.
"The first thing I do when I get somewhere is see where the closest crematory is," she said.
"I did a PhD in mortuary science and became a cemetery historian."
Jeane began attending funerals after she accidentally stumbled into one in 2012.
"I walked into this pretty church and realised a service was on," she said.
"I was raised as a Catholic and told that it's then bad to then leave, so I stayed and sat at the back.
"It was a complete stranger, but I was moved.
"Shortly after a cemetery worker reached out and asked if I'd attend a funeral for a veteran.
"Now I've attended nearly 200 funerals for people I don't actually know - although I have lost count of the exact amount."
People reach out to Jean on Facebook to ask her to go along to send-offs.
"No one should ever be cremated or buried alone," Jeane said.
"If I'm asked and I can go, I will."
Jeane is still passionate about caring for graves and has even restored the plaque for British architect Arthur Beresford Pite and unveiled it in a Victorian mourning dress.
Her family even jokes and call her a 'rent a mourner'
But she insists the nickname her family has given her is all good-natured humour, and hopes her attitude helps makes death less scary for others.
"It's a name they gave me and it's a bit fun," she said.
"Of course I'd never actually make anyone pay for my attendance at a funeral.
"I'll wear mourning dress to funerals if people ask me to.
"Death has never worried me.
"I hope I can make death feel less scary for people.
"It's my way of giving something back."
