Preserving Memories For Generations To Come   

Epitaphs & Inscriptions

An epitaph is a short phrase or poem that is inscribed on a monument, often inpsired by the persons life and accomplishments.   

For many people who have trouble deciding what words should be included on a headstone for their family member, it may be important to keep this final thought in mind: it should be considered a great honor to get to choose what is written on a deceased loved ones headstone! Many ideas can be found just walking through a cemetery and looking at other headstones.  In the end, you can never go wrong with anything you choose as long as it comes from the heart.
