If you can't find the ideal inscription for your loved one's gravestone, consider writing your own. You know the deceased the best, so it may be easier to write it than search for one.

Start by thinking of all the great memories you have of your loved one and your feelings about the death. Remember to decide if you want to write something about the person or about how the person is now at peace. Then turn your feelings into words. Write down everything that comes to mind and then review what you've written to choose the one you like the best.

If you are having difficulty writing one or choosing one from the ones you created or found here, ask a family member or friend to help you. In this time of grief, it's important to hold the people you love close to you and let them help you and give you support.
