How to Choose the Right Spanish Inscription for a Headstone

When choosing a Spanish epitaph for a grave marker, consider the following:

  • The faith, cultural background, or traditions of the deceased

  • The tone—do you want something spiritual, poetic, or deeply personal?

  • The available space on the monument or headstone

  • Whether this is a new monument or an addition to an existing one

You may also want to consult with a priest, pastor, or spiritual advisor if a religious verse or Bible passage is appropriate for your family’s beliefs.
