Epitaphs for Headstones & Graves

Though it is sometimes overlooked—and at times completely omitted—by families, some people say the most important part of a memorial is the epitaph. Epitaphs can be a very personal addition to any monument or columbaria. As with adding custom art or photos, it can be powerful, incorporating a favourite verse, saying or quote.

To help lend inspiration in writing an inscription for your loved one, we have a selection of epitaphs and verses available for your convenience. You may either copy them directly or use them as a basis to create your own personal expression.

Poems and lyrics are occassionally used in place of an epitaph; however these normally require laser etching, depending on their length and the amount of space available on the monument to accommodate it.
