REMEMBRANCE
Amongst Jews, close relatives of the deceased are not expected to carry on business or perform daily tasks during the first seven days after burial (Shiva). Other family members and friends make their meals and comfort them while they grieve. During Shiva, the mirrors in the house of grief are covered, freeing mourners to reflect on the meaning of life and death rather than themselves. A candle lit to signify the soul burns for seven days. Mourners may mend their clothing or wear symbolic ribbons as tokens of their grief. The Kaddish, a prayer that praises God, affirms life, and reinforces faith is recited daily. A year after the death, relatives and friends visit the gravesite to dedicate the tombstone.

At the Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we offer rituals that support the expression of faith and the particularity of every family who comes to us. For a tour, call 347-3431. Bright View Cemetery is just outside Warrenton, and offers memorials and monuments for all cemeteries.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they c omfort me. ”
