Joseph Carlier place of burial Père Lachaise Cemetery
Last years
When World War I broke out, he devoted himself assisting refugees from the North, and as president of the Friends of Cambrai, he devoted himself during the four years of conflict with his friend Devignes to help people of that town.  In 1916, Senator Paul Bersez thanked the Minister of Fine Arts for the purchase of a work by the artist.
In 1918 Carlier asked of the Minister of Fine Arts the position of Inspector of Fine Arts, and informed him that the bronze statues placed in the garden of Cambrai had been removed by the Germans. For Condé-sur-l'Escaut, he made the statue of General Léon de Poilloüe de Saint-Mars, a French Major General. He collaborated with the architect Castex on a monumental fountain project for the city of Reims, and sat on the Committee for Reconstruction of Cambrai and participated in other Cambrésien causes.
He died in Paris on 11 April 1927.  The funeral eulogy was spoken by the poet Devignes, A. Dorchain, the Mayor of Cambrai G. Desjardins. Fernand Créteur wrote his biography. He is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery.After his death, during the distribution of works of the Musée du Luxembourg, it was recommended that the Gilliat marble be exhibited at the Louvre. The commission declined but offered the alternatives of the Natural History Museum or the Oceanographic Institute.
