POINTING TO
HEAVEN
Obelisks are the tall. thin, four-sided, tapering monuments with the pyramidal tops that one often sees standing in silent tribute in cemeteries, particularly in older burial grounds. In fact, the obelisk is one of the most enduring of all the revival forms of cemetery art. There is scarcely a cemetery founded in the mid-nineteenth century that did not have some form of Egyptian influence in its monuments, tomb art, or gates. At that time, the resurgence of interest in ancient. Egyptian culture was prompted by the discoveries at the tombs of the pharaohs. Then, as today, obelisks are appreciated as being tasteful, with their pure uplifting lines, association with ancient greatness, and patriotic influence.
We hope that you found the topic of obelisks to be informative and of interest. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we understand that you may wish to incorporate particular symbols into the commemoration service. No detail is too large or too small for us to handle.
