The correct way to write a tombstone

The correct writing of tombstone mainly includes three contents: text, time and signature.

Among them, the subject is to write the name of the tomb owner. For the dead, the name is an important symbol of their identity. It must be written in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the tombstone. The font should be bigger, straighter and more eye-catching to let people know who the owner is.

Time refers to the date of birth and burial of the deceased. Commonly used tombstone formats are usually written in smaller fonts. The vertical tombstone is written on the right side of the tombstone; The horizontal tombstone is written below the name of the deceased or above the tombstone.

Inscription usually refers to the person who built the tombstone. If the tombstone is built by the owner himself, the names of immediate family members can be written on the inscription, such as "filial piety to men and women".

Although the tombstone inscriptions of modern tombs mainly include these aspects, the life and love of each deceased are different, and the style and shape of the tombstone are also different. When writing the tombstone inscription, we can engrave the favorite motto of the deceased, the blessing of the deceased to the deceased and other information according to the fact that love will make us live in the life of the deceased and the shape of the tombstone, highlighting the personal symbol of the deceased and expressing humanistic feelings.

It is worth mentioning that in the standard writing of tombstones, the person who writes the tombstone is the embodiment of the deep affection in filial piety. If we don't write down the maker of the monument, the whole world will think that the owner of the tomb is alone, or that the descendants of the owner of the tomb are unfilial. Therefore, most people will write their names to express their filial piety when setting up a monument for their dead relatives.

The existence of tombstones allows us to keep in touch with the deceased after leaving, so that we can continue to feel their existence and love. Tombstone is a precious way to commemorate, so that we can always remember and cherish our lost relatives.
