What is an "epitaph"?

An epitaph is a brief inscription or statement, typically found on a gravestone or memorial, that honors and commemorates a deceased person. It usually includes the person's name, dates of birth and death, and a short message or tribute that reflects their life, achievements, or qualities. Epitaphs are meant to serve as a lasting tribute, offering a glimpse into the individual's life and the impact they had on others.
