EPITAPHS

An Epitaph, by definition, is a phrase or form of words written in memory of a person, most often as an inscription on a tombstone. It is a tribute or expression of faith and, if possible, it should be personal, such as a line from a favorite song, hymn or from the bible.  Below are some suggestions.

AT REST

REST IN PEACE

SWEET BE THY REST

PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

MY TRUST IS IN GOD

SWEET BE THY SLEEP

TO MEMORY EVER DEAR

EVER KIND AND TRUE

LIFE'S WORK WELL DONE

MAY (HE,SHE,THEY)REST IN PEACE

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

IN SILENCE WE REMEMBER

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

NEARER MY GOD TO THEE

AT REST IN HEAVEN

(SHE,HE)HAS KEPT THE FAITH

INTO THY HANDS, O LORD

FOREVER WITH THE LORD

HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP

KIND, LOVING AND FAITHFUL

(HER, HIS) LIFE A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY

GOD GIVETH, GOD TAKETH AWAY

RESTING WHERE NO SHADOWS FALL

WITH CHRIST, WHICH IS FAR BETTER

LOVED BY ALL WHO KNEW (HER, HIM)

EVER REMEMBERED, EVER LOVED

SOME DAY YOU WILL KNOW

A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY LINGERS

EACH DUTY DONE, THEY REST IN PEACE

SHE WAS THE SUNSHINE OF OUR HOME

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT

GOD BE WITH YOU, TILL WE MEET AGAIN

​

​

ABIDE WITH ME

THY WILL BE DONE

THE LORD IS THY KEEPER

SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS

IN GOD I HAVE PUT MY TRUST

FONDLY LOVED AND DEEPLY MOURNED

INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT

TO LIVE IN HEARTS WE LEAVE BEHIND, IS NOT TO DIE

'TIL THE DAY BREAK

A LIFE OF DEEDS NOT OF YEARS

THEY SERVED GOD WELL

LIFE'S VICTORY WON, NOW COMETH SLEEP

OUR LIVES ARE BETTER TODAY BECAUSE WE KNEW THEM YESTERDAY

WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR THEIR PRESENCE

IN NEARER PRESENCE OF GOD

ONLY HOURS PART US

LAUGHED OFTEN AND LOVED MUCH

NO ONE SAYS FAREWELL

GOD GAVE US LOVE FOREVER

A MAJESTIC MEMORY

WE SHARED THEIR WISDOM AND ABILITIES

THE LORD HAS TOUCHED THEM

THE CROSS HATH LIFTED UP MY HEAD TO PEACE BELOVED                                          (WIFE,HUSBAND), INSPIRATION AND COMPANION

'TIL ALWAYS MORNING SOMEWHERE AND ABOVE

GOOD DEEDS RING THROUGH HEAVEN LIKE A BELL

GOODNIGHT, GOOD SLEEP, GOOD REST FROM SORROW

A TENDER MOTHER, A FAITHFUL FRIEND

NONE KNEW THEE, BUT TO LOVE THEE

YOUR LOVE & COMMITMENT WILL BE OUR CONSTANT GUIDE UNTIL                                    WE MEET AGAIN

​

​

BUDDED ON EARTH TO BLOOM IN HEAVEN

OUR LOVED ONE SLEEPS HERE

OUR BABY IS IN HEAVEN

​

JESUS CALLED A LITTLE CHILD UNTO HIM

ASLEEP IN JESUS

STEP SOFTLY, A DREAM LIES HERE
