UNIVERSAL & ETERNAL
The burial practices of humans down through the ages demonstrate the universal urge to exert some degree of • control over uncontrollable natural forces. There may be a belief that we can at least maintain the illusion of control over the physical challenges stretching between birth and death, although it is difficult for both the psyche and the intellect to confront death completely. Only through faith can we confront the ultimate mystery of existence without despair. There are many forms of faith, all of which promise some form of continued existence, from an exaggerated sense of worldly bliss to union with the Supreme Being. Within this promise is a glimpse of what lies beyond the terrestrial realm awaiting humankind after death.
When we lose a loved one, we often face our own mortality, and that offers a sense of tremendous loss and fear over what we cannot control. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we believe that finding rituals to honor a loss and put it in the larger perspective. We all are mortal, and death provides the endpoint that makes life meaningful.

QUOTE: “I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to confront only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not leant what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
Henry David Thoreau
