Setting up funeral arrangements is a job that entails a long list of details. These are usually left to a responsible member of the deceased's family or various tasks may be assigned to several individuals for less stress on one mourner. A key part of this duty is composing an epitaph worthy of the person it will represent.

This is the information that is inscribed on the gravestone, or commemorative plaque, of one who has passed away. The main purpose for it is to tell visitors a little something about the person interred on that spot. This tribute can be created in numerous different styles all depending on the author and the personality of the honoree.

Practically every commemorative plaque or stone will bear information identifying the person. In the very least, this includes their name and typically a date for their birth and their death. While some opt to leave it at that, others choose to also add something extra like a sentiment, statement or further details about their life.

For many, traditional sentiments such as wishes for a peaceful slumber or an explanation of how loved the deceased was is all they add. The statement may be an attestation about their family relations, community work, military service or other accomplishments. It is also quite the popular choice to use a meaningful piece of scripture for this purpose.

A growing number of people are making the choice to write their own goodbyes. By doing so they are able to express themselves more accurately and use a bit of creativity if desired. People with an elevated sense of humor find this to be the perfect opportunity to leave people smiling one last time.
