Advice Regarding Headstone Quotes and Epitaphs

1) Say more with less- epitaphs tell a story about the person being memorialized. The best are both poignant and to the point.

2) Both emotion and connection are expressed in epitaphs. However, you want to avoid being overly florid or sentimental.

3) Epitaphs are often in the first person (such as a loved one, friend, or from the point of view of the deceased), think about whose voice is expressing the sentiment.

4) Consider who you are addressing with the epitaph. Is it the deceased? A passerby?

Build me no monuments. Should my turn come, please do not weep for me and waste your tears. Write not my name on honour rolls of fame to crumble with man’s memory through the years. Wear no dark clothes; speak in no saddened voice, Seeking rare virtues which didn’t exist. I ask one thing – that in still, far-off days, Someone who knew me should in their daily rounds, Suddenly pause, caught by some sight or sound, Some glance, some phrase, some trick of memory’s ways which brings me to mind, then I shall wait, eager with hope, perhaps to hear – “how great if he were with us still!” And then at the end, all that I wish for is just – “he was my friend!”

By cloudless starlight on he treads, And thinks no lamp so cheering As that light which Heaven sheds
