THE
IMPORTANCE OF
FUNERALS
Since the earliest of times, funerals have provided occasions for the living to help the dead make their transition to the next world. By the same token, funerals also help the living cope with the stressful event by binding themselves togethef in a mournful community. Bolstered by the emotional support of concerned family members and friends, grieving survivors are able to confront the reality of death with an immediacy that helps them find acceptance. There is an old proverb that suggest that: "Six feet of earth make all men one size." As harsh as it may sound, this statement underscores the importance of realistically addressing an event that eventually befalls us all. Funerals help us meet this emotional challenge.
Funerals, like other rituals of human life, help make sense of our time here. They offer a time for reflection and the recognition that what has occurred is significant and worthy of our deepest respect and attention. They also offer relief in the form of support and care from those who loved the one who .has died. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME 233 Broadview Avenue. Warrenton. we take care of the details that can really burden you during a time of loss. Our spacious, peaceful surroundings make you feel at home. If you have any questions about our services, call us 347-3431. “To die is landing on some distant shore."
