Inscriptions on gravestones. Death, that soul whose flesh the grave took

Short inscriptions on monuments remain for centuries

The loss of loved ones is the hardest test, because such a loss is irreplaceable for those who are left to live. The need to express grief in the words engraved on the tombstone is a natural desire for those who mourn.

Short epitaphs as evidence of the immortality of the soul

After the completion of the funeral and the commemoration rites, the relatives and friends of people who have passed away feel abandoned. They take care of the graves and erect monuments to the deceased, on which, as a rule, short epitaphs are carved for posterity. These words testify to the merits of the deceased or of gratitude for the fact that he was once there.

If our life is not eternal, then the short epitaphs applied to the monument will last for a very long time. The next generations will be able to read them and reflect on their earthly path, as well as on the frailty of life. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be destined to visit dear graves, and therefore the connection of times will never be interrupted.

We come here
To put flowers.
It's very difficult, dear,
We can live without you.

We all would give what we ask.
Words words words...
Words ... We all pronounce them after death.

You left us, dear,
The mournful hour of rozluki has come.
But everything is still alive
You are in our heart, among us
***

Can't express in tears
all sorrow and sorrow ...

The simple-hearted son of freedom
For the senses, he did not spare life;
And faithful traits of nature
He often liked to write off.
He believed in dark predictions
And talismans, and love,
And unnatural desires
He sacrificed his days.
And in it the soul kept a supply
Bliss, torment and passion.
He died. Here is his grave.
It was not made for humans.

Tombstone epitaphs occupy a special niche in ritual art. Today, this is not only a simple saying dedicated to to a loved one who has departed into another world, but also great way decorate the burial site in the best traditions modernity. That is why the gravestones are combined into a special literary genre, which not all writers can cope with. After all, for this you need to be a special master of the word, being able to select the necessary deep words and lay a wide philosophical meaning in just a few lines. Inscriptions on tombstones- it's like a second portrait, but more emotional and wider.

Gravestone inscriptions

It should be noted that any epitaphs on tombstones differ in a number of qualities that make them a special genre... So, for example, they should be:
Concise
Laconic
Deep in content
Individual
Emotional
Capacious

Therefore, most often the texts of gravestone inscriptions fit in just a few lines or even a simple quatrain. At the same time, a deep emotional and philosophical subtext directly tells about the feelings of relatives and friends, and also presents the deceased to future generations.

Most often, to perpetuate in verbal form the human path of life, character, inner peace use a poetic form. It is easier to read and easier to remember. And the poem in most people evokes a more solemn and emotional response.

Inscriptions on tombstones in prose, however, require much more skill, lightness of style and shades of feelings. Therefore, it is worth noting that not everyone chooses prose. But if you choose it correctly, it may turn out that only three or five words are enough, which will express much more than one quatrain. By the way, in prose the inscription on grave cross looks much better and is combined with the strict and sublime features of the product.

The choice of the inscription should be done very deliberately, because it depends on it and appearance monument. Short works will look more appropriate and beautiful on a monument than a long text with an abundance of empty words. Not a single word should raise doubts or tense feelings in the relatives of the deceased. In addition, epitaphs on the tombstone should form a positive image of a person, who will subsequently correctly present him to future generations.

Tombstone epitaphs can be like famous saying with deep philosophical overtones or the words of the deceased himself. Often the relatives themselves want to create their own work that will help pay tribute to the memory of those who remain dear to their hearts even after death.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell about your feelings forever to departed relatives or loved ones. Of course, you can express your own feelings in obituaries or put unspent love in the inscription on the tombstone. Although, probably, the epitaph is just a way to calm oneself and convince that the farewell words of love are nevertheless said and will live for centuries, carved on cold granite.

What is usually written on tombstones

Tombstones now can be very different. They are made from a variety of materials and given a great variety of shapes. The differences most often depend on cultural and religious traditions. However, almost all gravestones carry some obligatory information.

So, in all cases, the surname, name and patronymic of the deceased, his date of birth and date of death are indicated. Very often, a photograph of a deceased person is also placed on the monument. However, this is not enough if loved ones grieve for a relative who has left them untimely. And then the epitaph is knocked out on the tombstone.

What is an epitaph?

The epitaph is short text in honor of a deceased person. We are used to understanding by it the inscription on the tombstone, but this is not entirely true. This word came to us from the ancient Greek language, and in those days an epitaph was understood as a small speech about the deceased, delivered at a funeral.

The epitaph can be a short inscription on the tombstone, listing the family roles of the deceased and talking about him with endless love and respect. For example, "beloved father and dear husband." The epitaph can be a rhymed quatrain or even a quote from Holy Scripture... Or maybe she's pretty long text, not devoid of pathos. For example, during the Renaissance, the gravestones of people from noble families were decorated detailed descriptions stories of the origin of the family, success in their careers and praises of the virtue of the deceased and all his relatives.

V Western cultures quite often people choose inscriptions for their gravestones during their lifetime. This tradition has been around for a long time. For example, the author of his own epitaph containing curses to those who carry human remains from the church to the crypt was presumably William Shakespeare. And now in the West, older people or seriously ill people often tell their relatives their will regarding what kind of inscription they would like to see on their own tombstone.

For our reality, however, the choice of an inscription for your tombstone is not so common. And to many, this idea may seem strange at all, because we are not used to thinking about death in general and that our life path will end someday. Therefore, the responsibility for the choice of the epitaph is most often assigned to the relatives and friends of the deceased.

Epitaph. How to find words?

Choose a saying that will forever become a symbol of sorrow for the past dear person is usually very difficult. It takes a lot mental strength, it causes endless sadness. But this choice must be made.

You can, of course, express respect and sorrow in the standard saying - "Rest in peace", "We remember. We love. We grieve. " These short phrases are used very often and all over the world. Likewise, the use of verses, aphorisms, or quotations from the Bible is often used.

However, with a saying engraved on a tombstone, people sometimes want to express something more, to put into words all their unspent love and express inconsolable grief. In this case, the inscription on the tombstone should express the words coming from the heart.

Many funeral agencies offer epitaph making services. The relatives of the deceased express their wishes, and with their strict adherence feelings and sorrow are put into words.

The inscriptions on the monuments are chosen taking into account whose grave they are intended for. The gender, age of a person matters, and his family roles are important. The inscriptions on the monuments to mother, thus, will differ from the epitaphs to the father. There are, however, universal phrases that are used in various cases.

Inscriptions on monuments to parents

9. “We loved him very much. But God loved him more. "

A lesson to those whom they knew how to captivate,

What prison did my soul live in?

Who water this coffin with tears,

He in vain believes that he will return

His tear to the dry tree fruit:

After all, in the spring the dead does not rise again.

The Lord granted me beauty,

The parent gave me only the body;

But if God-given has decayed,

A jealous friend awaits death, tormented by fear

So that someone does not forestall him.

The abyss swallowed you

And forever the water hid

From us your sad appearance.

So mysterious and strange ...

You lived in pink dreams.

But what is the enemy of your dreams?

His hand did not flinch.

The reprisal was short,

But your suffering is not easy.

On your pretty face -

A timid smile on it

And a short bewilderment.

How unusually silent you are ...

The breath of death did not touch

You - and you were not horrified

You seemed to lie down and sleep.

Sleep, .... (name) ...!

May your sweet dream

No one will disturb forever;

Nothing can break

Oblivion of eternal peace.

And maybe be happy daydreaming

You will see your love

Your naive dreams

And the roses that you raised ...

115. You left, but we remember and love you.

116. You have lived your life in worries,

Now you fell asleep forever.

So sleep well, carefree

Your family is always with you ...

117. He loved angels and children's laughter.

I did not crumple the snow-white lilac stars,

Although he wanted to overcome Vladyka ...

In all sins he was - a gentle child,

And therefore - forgive him, Lord!

118. You left early without saying goodbye

And without saying a word to us,

That you will never come back.

119. How hard it is to find the words

To measure our pain with them.

We cannot believe in your death

You will be with us forever.

120. Leaving this life, you still live

In our thoughts, dreams.

You cannot survive the fate of the given.

We remember you both in joy and in torment.

121. There will always be a mother's tear for you,

Father's sadness, brother's loneliness,

The grief of grandparents.

122. An evil death crept up to me

I left you forever.

Oh, how I would like to live

But this is my destiny.

123. Like dew drops on roses

There are tears on my cheeks.

Sleep well, dear son,

We all love you, remember and grieve.

124. Eternal memory of you in the hearts of relatives

125. When people forget you, all your friends will forget

Only the heart will remember you, and this heart will be me.

126. Do not know where I have led the way,

To what limit did I go from life, oh friend,

I have done everything earthly, I loved and lived on earth.

127. I loved you, I won't forget you,

I will love you in eternity

128. All life ended with you, you have no life, and we do not,

The most dear, beloved son, beloved child has passed away.

129. Thank you, my clear one, for the fact that you were in the world!

130. A serious illness broke you, passed away without living,

Dear, beloved son of ours, how difficult it is for us to live without you.

131. Thank you endlessly

We do not forget about you,

And we remember your souls and hearts alive.

132. You were an example for us to follow

We still live by consulting you.

We come to you, father, on a date

Consulting in happiness and trouble.

133. No ... They did not leave, but they repeated themselves in the children.

134. Lord, we give you our smallest angel.

135. Wonderful child, unjust fate did not give you to me,

She just showed it and took it right away.

136. No, I will not resign myself to death, with the terrible burden of being

That children die before adults, that you died, I was left.

137. Life separated them, but death united them.

Two pure souls now in one grave.

138. You were taken away from us so hastily, breathing injustice.
And on the native land, even though your soul could live a sinner.
Now we only have to gain patience, strength.
Relatives, loved ones everywhere cry quietly at the graves.
We now live in human pain, flowers, breathing greenery.
We all have one big grief - we will come to it slowly.
Let's water the flowers, wipe the fence, kiss the cross, keep quiet.
What else do we need in life? But we shout in silence.
Now you live under heaven. You are with us, friend, and we are with you.
With love in your heart, in your soul with sorrow, rest in peace, dear!

139. Light roses, having died, a crowd of funeral
They sparkle in lush bouquets, like a star in the sky;
So I am separated from you, but your image is sad
In my heart, lulled, always asleep. (Balmont K.D.)

Epitaphs on the graves of famous people

K.N. Batyushkov

Epitaph

No inscriptions are needed for my stone,
Just say here: he was and he is not!

A.S. Pushkin

My epitaph

Here Pushkin is buried; he is with a young muse,
I spent a cheerful century with love, laziness,
I didn’t do good, but I was a soul,
By God, a kind person.

Epitaph to the baby. "Book. N. S. Volkonsky"

In radiance and joyful peace,
At the throne of the eternal creator,
With a smile, he looks into earthly exile,
He blesses the mother and prays for the father.

M.Yu. Lermontov

Epitaph

The simple-hearted son of freedom
For the senses, he did not spare life;
And faithful traits of nature
He often liked to write off.

He believed in dark predictions
And talismans, and love,
And unnatural desires
He sacrificed his days.

And in it the soul kept a supply
Bliss, torment and passion.
He died. Here is his grave.
It was not made for humans.

Epitaph of Napoleon

Yes, no one blames your shadow,
Rock husband! you are with people that doom is over you;
Who knew to announce you, only he could overthrow:
Great nothing changes.

V.S. Soloviev

Vladimir Soloviev Lies in this place. First there was a philosopher. And now he has become a skeleton. He was kind to some, He was also an enemy to many; But, loving madly, He plunged into a ravine Himself, He lost his soul, Not to mention the body: The devil took her, His dogs ate him. Passer-by! Learn from this example how harmful love is and how useful faith is.

I.A. Bunin

The inscription on the tombstone

There is, O Lord, sins and atrocities Above Your mercy! A slave to the earth and vain desires Forgive sins for his sorrows. I kept the covenant of love in my life holy: In the days of longing, contrary to my mind, I did not harbor a snake of enmity against my brother, I forgave everything, according to Your word. I, who cognized the deathly silence, I, who received the sorrows of darkness, From the depths earthly earth evangelize the Verbs of Unsettled Beauty!

M.I. Tsvetaeva

Epitaph

To the one who lies here under the spring grass,
Forgive me, Lord, evil thought and sin!
He was sick, worn out, alien,
He loved angels and children's laughter.

I did not crumple the snow-white lilac stars,
Although he wished to overcome Vladyka ...
In all sins he was - a gentle child,
And therefore - forgive him, Lord!
