We get these in our mailbox. It's the announcement of a death, with wake and funeral schedules. M. Marinx was born and died here in our little village. His brother is married to a Lhoir. One of her family was killed in the Great War and has his name carved on the memorial in the Grand' Place and a street named after him. The funeral director, from the next village over, appears to be related to another young man who fell in that war. And that's just recent history around here.
