ADDING AN INSCRIPTION
One of the main parts of a headstone is the message that it provokes. Your headstone can incorporate a variety of different messages and text and represent the person the headstone is for. The life of the person is normally summed up using a variety of different text and images that are engraved onto the headstone.
The most common inscriptions include:
- Gone, but not forgotten
- In loving memory of…
- RIP
- Always in our hearts
- Entered into rest
- Forever in our hearts
Most people choose to customise their headstone with a personalised message. If you would like some inspiration or ideas for inscriptions then please speak to your stonemason or one of the team and they will be able to help.
