TRANSITIONS
Before the great rush of urbanization and technological upheaval of this century, generations of families lived and died together in homes where there was little to divert attention away from the certainties of this world. Thus, neither birth nor death were strangers to those who came to see them as the necessary transitions between life stages. They were so completely observed and understood as to be accepted, not feared. Death was seen as the last chapter in a life well lived. As a historian in another era and culture saw the dying, the Roman, Cornelius Nepos, once wrote, "So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another." Moving through a transition is always difficult, even when the transition is a positive one. How much more so is this true when we are facing loss! We are here to help. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, you'll find we care about our clients. For answers to your questions, call us at 347-3431.
"Many men on the point of an edifying death would be furious if they were suddenly restored to health."
~ Cesare Pavese
