Inscriptions on headstones are a way to commemorate and immortalise the dearly departed. There are many times when a personal touch can be added by placing a certain phrase or image on the surface.

Gravestone inscriptions can be a useful source of family history information.  If many family members are buried in the same grave the inscription will often give information on all that are buried there.  Gravestones may give birth, marriage, and death information.
Sometimes they give more information than the parish burial register or civil certificate of death. Gravestone inscriptions are especially helpful for identifying ancestors who are not recorded in other existing records.
