What is an epitaph?

An epitaph is a statement, sometimes a poem, for a deceased person. It is sometimes written by the person to be used on his/her gravestone, and sometimes put on gravestones by others in the voice of the deceased. My Grave this is the last of her there'll never be a cure now she will be eaten by worms and bugs she loved laughter and hugs she really loved music but she will always be basic now her family will cry while their faces turn dry she always loved snow like she always wear bows she never loved the cold but she always liked gold but don't stand and weep for it will make her true self deep she will always be in your mind because she will be easy to find then you put r.i.p and put your name what you can do is try to be creative and make your poems into shapes like a cross i usually did that but i didnt have time to make the cross ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- An epitaph is a commemoration (most commonly in the form of a song or poem) of a deceased person. Epitaph poems came into being as short apt poems fit to be inscribed on tomb stones on burial sites. Collecting the epitaph poems scattered everywhere on granite slabs and tombs became an independent branch of literature. Not all epitaphs are severe, serious and grave. Many have been quite witty, which perfectly described the interesting character buried there. Gradually epitaph poems came to be written as literature, and not for the sole purpose of inscription on tombstones. Dr. Samuel Johnson wrote: Here lies good master duck, Whom Samuel Johnson trode on. W. C. Fields, the great comedian and actor, is said to have placed the following, or something close to it, on his tombstone. It is an apocryphal story; this brilliant epitaph (he made countless jokes involving Philadelphia during his career) does not appear on his stone. On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia
