AN ELEMENTAL

DECISION

The age-old practice of cremation dates back to the Bronze Age and, more recently, has emerged as a contemporary practice in this country since the mid-1800s. While fewer than 1% of those who died at the end of the 19th century were cremated, that percentage has risen to around 25% today. The increasing popularity of cremation as a normal form of preparation for final disposition comes with the understanding that it does'not restrict the family and friends from participating in the traditions, ceremonies, or rituals of a funeral service. In many cases, the family chooses to view the body before cremation and then have the cremated remains present in an urn at the memorial service.

When you come to us for funeral services, you'll find that you are in experienced hands. And, at a time of loss, that can be great comfort. At the Moser Funeral Home, we're happy to discuss whatever options might work for you and your family. We now offer on-site cremation. We take pride in our professionalism and our respectful care for our clients. We’re at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton. For answers to your questions, call 540-3473431.
