American Hit Undertakers Hard. An undertaker of Podgoritza, Montenegro, on the way to the home of the corpse. There are no hearses so he had to carry the coffin to the house of the dead on his head. Before the American Red Cross arrived in Montenegro, the undertaker business was flourishing. But the establishment of hospitals, dispensaries, mobile medical units and orphanages in the country the Americans have reduced the deathrate greatly. It is customary for the friend of the deceased to gather about the home of the departed one upon the arrival of the undertaker, wail for hours and beat their breast as evidence of their grief. After this the coffin, with the corpses exposed, is carried in relays by the mourners to the cemetery
