FAMILIAR ICONS
If you have ever walked through an older cemetery with an eye toward the icons sculpted on the headstones, you are likely to notice some repeating images. For instance, a weeping tree indicates mourning or natural grief. Clasped hands are indicative of farewells said at death, while a hand pointing upward indicates the pathway to heavenly reward. An urn symbolizes immortality. An angel blowing a trumpet indicates resurrection, as does a lying dove. Wheat sheaves represent the divine harvest, and a wreath signifies victory over death. Flowers represent the fragility of life and plucked flowers indicate the premature death of a life in bloom. A lion is indicative of courage while an arrow represents mortality.
Remembering a loved one well at a time of passing is one way to recognize the significance of the loss. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME we’re here to help you plan services that meet your needs.

“For a man who has done his natural duty, death is a natural as sleep.”
