What is written on the Tombstone?

At Mankweng Tombstones, a leading manufacturer with headquarters in Pretoria and branches across South Africa, we understand the profound significance of tombstones. They serve not only as markers of a life lived, but also as enduring testaments to the love and memory of those we hold dear.

The inscription you choose for a loved one’s tombstone becomes a permanent and powerful expression of their essence. It’s a message that transcends generations, offering solace to those grieving and leaving a lasting impression on future visitors.

Here, we delve into the thoughtful consideration that goes into crafting a tombstone inscription, guiding you through this essential aspect of commemorating a cherished life.

The Cornerstones of a Tombstone Inscription:

  • Name and Dates: The inscription begins with the full name of the deceased, followed by their birth and death dates. This establishes a clear timeline and identification.
  • Epitaphs: A Touch of Personalization: Epitaphs are short messages or poems that offer a glimpse into the personality or life of the deceased. Mankweng Tombstones’ team is here to guide you through a selection of beautiful and meaningful epitaphs, or you can choose a personalized message that reflects your unique relationship with the departed.

Here are some examples to inspire you:

  • For a Devoted Family Member: “Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. Forever cherished.”
  • For an Adventurous Spirit: “She lived life to the fullest, leaving a trail of laughter and love.”
  • For a Pillar of Strength: “A beacon of wisdom and kindness, deeply missed.”
  • Religious or Inspirational Quotes: Adding a religious verse or quote that resonates with the deceased’s beliefs or your own faith can offer comfort and a sense of peace.
