Memorialization

Epitaphs

The Colonial headstone moves us because it tells a story. It inspires us with some beautiful tribute to the commemorated or an appealing expression of faith, hope and love. It is a symbol of sentiment which has carried a message to posterity. Both sacred and secular literature abound in source material appropriate:
I WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS -Ps. cxxi:1

AN ANGEL VISITED THE GREEN EARTH AND TOOK A FLOWER AWAY (adapted)-Longfellow

YET SPIRIT IMMORTAL THE TOMB CAN NOT BIND THEE - Heath

AND FLIGHTS OF ANGELS SING THEE TO THY REST -Shakespeare

A memorial is created not only to symbolize a life but as a source of consolation to the bereaved and an inspiration to all.

GOD GIVES US LOVE. SOMETHING TO LOVE HE LENDS US - Tennyson

Our Reverence for the memory of those who we have loved can be expressed:
WHAT WE KEEP IN MEMORY IS OURS UNCHANGED FOREVER -Lowell
