Monument Epitaphs
If you don't know what to say on your loved one's memorial, here is a list of options or idea starters...
May God be with you and comfort you
Out of sorrow God speaks to us best
In God’s care
In the cross of Christ I glory
The Lord is my Shepherd
I know that my Redeemer lives, therefore I too shall live
May heaven’s eternal joy be thine
He gives his beloved sleep
Love is eternal
God gives us love….Something to love He lends us
Where there is great love there are always miracles
Our love goes with you and our souls wait to join you
May she (he) rest in peace with God
In His will is our peace
Not my will but thine be done
Unto them that love God, all things work for good
Blessed sleep to which we all return
And I will give you rest
Sweet in her ways
Trust in God
Let her own works praise her at the gates
May the peace of the Lord be with you
Generous of heart, constant of faith
For this to end Christ died
I will lift up thine eyes unto the hills
We lived together in happiness we rest together in peace
All things change, but God remains
A beloved Mother (Father) (Son) (Daughter)
God is our refuge and our strength
She (He) touched everyone with special love and kindness
All things to the glory of God
Love lives on
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest
A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others
Whither thou goest I will go
A free spirit
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal
Precious are the memories of (name)
What we keep in memory is ours forever
An inspiration to all
We miss you
We love you always
Always in our hearts
With all my love
Gone from home, but not from our hearts
Great love lives on
There was grace in her steps, love in every gesture
Our little angel
Forever young, forever in our hearts
Her works were kindness, her deeds were love
Life is not forever. Love is.
How beautiful life was to me
May she (he) be remembered as she (he) remembered others
A tender mother (father). A faithful friend.
A life full of years of understanding
A friend to many and sadly missed
Of tender heart and generous spirit
A woman of virtue, kindness and modesty
Peace is thine and sweet remembrance is ours
She graced her family with acts of loving kindness
Our love is love forever
Love never ends
Your patient courage is a beloved memory
They gave their today for our tomorrow
Wonderful was your love for us
Loving memories last forever
I have fought the good fight
I have finished my course
I have kept the faith
The saddened hearts were healed
In knowing the pain of life is over
And the beauty of the soul revealed
Love makes memory eternal
He (she) loved and was loved
Too well loved to ever be forgotten
To live in the hearts of others is not to die
Rest, O weary traveler
For with the dawn comes great joy
I am not afraid of tomorrow
For I have seen yesterday
And I love today
Step softly, a dream lies buried here
If our love could have saved him (her)
He (she) would not have died
A gentle man (woman)
Gone fishin’
She (he) touched the lives of many
She (He) loved everyone
While we have time, let us do good
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on
His courage, his smile, his grace
Gladdened the hearts of those
Who have the privilege of loving him
God grant us the serenity to accept
The things we cannot change
The courage to change the things we can
And the wisdom to know the difference
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on
As the bird free of its cage seeks the heights,
So the Christian soul in death flies home to God
Its hard to look back on any gain in life
That does not have a loss attached to it
The unity that binds us all together
That makes this earth a family
And all men brothers and the Sons of God is alive
- Wolfe
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me

I am going the way of the earth
Joshua 23:14
Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted
Matthew 5:4
But O for the touch of a vanished hand
And the sound of a voice that is still
- Tennyson
Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy
Matthew 5:7
For they conquer who believe they can
- Virgil
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God
Matthew 5:8
They who forgive most, shall be most forgiven
- Bailey
But many that are first shall be last
And the last shall be first
Matthew 19:30
