One of Belgium's most flourishing businesses during World War I was the undertaker's. In this illustration in a 1917 book on The Great War, a street scene is shown with the building on the corner being that of an undertaker. There is a world of pathos in the sign ...[DEUIL] COMPLET EN 12 HEURES "Mourning Complete in 12 Hours." The sign directly above the door reads: Maison de Deuil ("House of Mourning").
