Headstone inscriptions
Headstone inscriptions
What to put on the headstone is often the hardest decision. These are the verses and couplets we have gathered over the years.
The texts below were gathered from the work we have done and from wording families brought to us. You are welcome to use them as they are, adapt them in your own words, or simply read them for ideas.
How an inscription sits on the stone depends on its dimensions and the number of lines, which is why it is worth settling the wording at the start of the work.
These are Turkish funerary verses, kept in the original language — they are cut into the stone exactly as written here, and translating them would change what goes on the stone.

Cutting the inscription
Names, dates and the text you choose are cut into the headstone. A photograph can be set into the stone as well if you would like one.
Renewing worn inscriptions on an existing headstone is also part of what we do.
