GRAVE
THOUGHTS
A visit to the final resting place of a loved one affords us an opportunity for quiet contemplation. Far from the clamor of the everyday world, the gravesite seems to concentrate memory .and stir our appreciation of the departed. At the grave, both the living and the dead share a gentle serenity. In the words of Washington Irving, “Oh Grave! - The Grave! - It buries every error - covers every defect - extinguishes every resentment! From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender recollections. Who can look down upon the grave even of an enemy and not feel a compunctious throb, that he should ever have warred with the poor handful of earth that lies moldering before him?”
Remembering one who has died with a memorial fitting for one's own memory can offer comfort when someone we love is gone. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, you'll find us to be compassionate, professional, and attentive to your needs and requests. We're at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. For answers to your questions, call 540-347-3431.
"He spake well who said that graves are the fix>tprints of angels. ”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
