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
SUGGESTED VERSES FOR CHILDREN
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
