Inscriptions...
Gravestones are usually inscribed with details such as the deceased’s name, date of birth, date of death, occupation, accomplishments, etc. and short phrases like:
“In memory of”
“Treasured memory of”
“Cherished memories of”
“Sacred to the memory of”
“In fondest memory”
“With Love We Remember”
“Eternally loved”
“Rest in peace”
“Forever with the Lord”
“Forever in our hearts”
In addition, you can honour a loved one by including verses from scriptures, beautiful poems, and even touchy song lyrics.
Moreover, you can compose a nice poem or a wonderful epitaph yourself to commemorate a life well lived.

Your love is still my guide,
And though I cannot touch your hand,
I know you are by my side”

And though I cannot touch your hand,
I know you are by my side”

Still loved, still missed and very dear.”

“Softly the leaves of memory fall,
Gently I gather and treasure them all,
Unseen, unheard you are always near,
So missed so loved so very dear”
