About Headstone Inscriptions
Inscriptions in headstones have a very long history. Basically since there were headstones, something like epitaphs have been inscribed on them. In different parts of the world headstones have been around for centuries or even ages. In the beginnings often graves were not marked at all, during time lillte markers have been added. Later on the headstone inscriptions started with simply stating the name of the person. As time passed the epitaphs become more elaborate.
