I’m astounded that some people have lived such prolific noteworthy lives, were world-famous for decades, contributed so much, made life-changing inventions that the whole world benefitted from …
Yet the only words on their headstone are like “Dad, Brother, Son, We love you.”
Like WHAT?? He invented the xyz and had the leading role in 300 Hollywood films & 20 Guinness world records & discovered the cure for xyz and on & on …
Why not mention any of that on their headstone?
It can have any length. It’s the family who chooses the words that they think it fits the most with the deceased.
Example 1. Example 2. Example 3.
Very short epitaphs are kinda sad.
