LAMENTING THE DEAD ; A lament is an expression of • grief. The custom of chanting, • reciting, and/or singing laments for the dead remains a part of a living folk tradition in nearly all parts of the world. The tradition of lamenting the dead has been traced back to the rites of prehistoric religions. It has been found to be prevalent in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, and Rome. In several parts of the world, professional dirge-singers perform laments when relatives of a deceased consider their own expressions of grief inadequate to reflect their sense of loss. Thus, a custom has developed whereby professional mourners, both men and women, are hired to lament the dead on behalf of the bereaved. Each of us mourns in his or her own way. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton we're here to offer compassion, logistical support, and kindness as you make numerous decisions about how to best remember your family member.

"A noble heart, like the sun, showeth it greatest countenance in its lowest state."
Sir Philip Sidney
