Advice for the living, direct from the dead.
Photos fade, records are filed away, memories die with the dead. After 50 to 100 years there are few records that even speak to the existence of a particular human, which is why epitaphs were once very important.
Tombstone epitaphs that are found in area graveyards provide insights into life’s journey and allow the living to appreciate those who have passed.
