Epitaphs Samples for Memorial Rocks

As much as someone is loved, recalling what made them special and summarizing those feelings for a bronze plaque with limited space after their death can be challenging.

However, experts agree that the process of writing a loved one's epitaph can often actually be comforting and essential to a normal grieving process.

More than simply stating a person's name and dates of birth and death, we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to let those viewing the plaque in future years gain a better sense of the loved one's personality and what he or she meant to surviving friends and family.

In addition to the following examples, also consider gathering thoughts for a plaque from friends or family face-to-face, on the phone or by e-mail.

Their collective memories are certain to make it easier to create an epitaph that portrays the essence of the individual who has departed.

Note: Some of these epitaph examples may not fit within the guidelines allowed for our standard plaque size.

Words Of Bronze On This Stone
Are A Reminder You're Never Alone
Your Wonderful Life Of So Many Years
We Shall Celebrate Without Any Tears

~

Gone, But Not Forgotten

~

Beneath This Stone Rests My Love
Her Soul Long Ago Free As A Dove
When I Come To Visit This Special Place
I Shall Always Recall Her Smiling Face

~

A Husband And Wife So Dear
Sleep Together As Always Here
Their Spirits Separated Never Again
Their Soul With Christ For Ever Reign

~

I Am The Resurrection And The Life,
He That Believeth In Me Though
He Die Yet Shall He Live

~

Beneath This Simple Stone
That Marks His Resting Place
Our Precious Father Sleeps Alone
In The Lord's Long Embrace

~

A Mother Kind, A Parent Dear
A Faithful Friend Lies Buried Here
She Is Gone From Our Home
But Not From Our Heart

~

Be Patient With Life, Despite The Truth.
It Often Seems Oblivious Of Our Pain,
But Just As Often Brings Us Hope Again.

~

Do believe I'll never leave you:
Always You Will be in My heart.
Don't forget my soul is near you,
And so we'll never be apart.

A Precious One From Us Has Gone
A Voice We Loved Is Stilled
A Place Is Empty In Our Home
Which Never Can Be Filled

~

No Pain, No Grief
No Anxious Fear
Can Reach Our Loved
One Sleeping Here.

Behold My Friends As You Pass
By As You Are Now,
So Once Was I As I Am Now,
Soon You Shall Be Give Thyself
To God And Follow Me

~

I Pray You Can See Me Now
And Be Proud Of What I Have Become
Because Of Your Example,
But Most Of All I Thank You
Because You Loved Me So Much
