FUNERAL LUNCHEON--ALLGAN, BAVARIA, GERMANY

AFTER THE BURIAL CEREMONY, THE FAMILY OF THE DECEASED
WOULD TAKE THE RELATIVES AND FRIENDS TO THE LOCAL
GASTHAUS (BEERGARDEN) FOR LUNCH AND BEER.

Submitter comment: A GASTHAUS IS ACTUALLY AN INN. THE PROPRIETOR NOT
ONLY SERVES DRINKS AND FOOD, BUT HE ALSO RENTS OUT
ROOMS.
