tombstone inscriptions
Cemetery marker text
Tombstone inscriptions are the words carved or engraved on grave markers—names, dates, epitaphs, and memorial verses.
They range from simple identifications to elaborate tributes: The tombstone inscription read "Beloved Mother and Wife".
Genealogists study tombstone inscriptions to trace family histories.
The phrase also appears figuratively for any final, permanent statement.
