In this post, we’ll list the most important tips to choosing the right monument inscription. Keep reading to find out more.
1. Take Your Time
When you begin to think about the right inscription, try not to rush through it. The more time you take to remember what made them so special, the more likely you are to find the perfect words to inscribe on their monument.
2. Avoid Overused Phrases
Phrases like “in loving memory” are very overused and won’t properly capture the legacy of your loved one. A generic expression will have a lot less impact than something singular and unique. Try to find a way to express their importance to you without compromising.
3. Don’t Choose Too Many Words
While you may feel tempted to inscribe absolutely everything about them that made them so special, it’s important not to overcrowd the monument.
4. Think of the Visitors
Consider an inscription that will resonate most with the people who will be visiting the monument. Song lyrics or quotes that the deceased was passionate about will stand the test of time and inspire those who visit to fondly reflect on their legacy.
