starts mourning the fuss - the organization of the funeral, wake, and so on. N. All this, of course, is the place to be, but how can we express our attitude to those who left us, her feelings for him, his sorrow?The show that a part of us went with the dead?Apart from our thoughts, there is a method resorted to very often - is the inscription on the monument.
In the present article we will talk about is their design.After all, look like tombstones and monuments, carries information about living man, and the relation of people to him.And for many, this is very important.
How did this tradition?
The inscription on the monument called the epitaph and is officially considered a literary genre, appeared thanks to the poets of ancient Greece.In a translation from Greek means "over the grave."
in Russia posthumous inscription on the monument appeared only in the XVII century.Prior to that, over the graves were only crosses and plaques with the names and years of the life of the deceased.Appeared epitaph carried a deeper meaning.Sometimes they even contain facts about the deceased person.
Over time, long profound inscription modified.They have become more capacious, concise.It so happens that the epitaph is associated with the epigram.Writing ironic epitaph on the tomb became popular first in Europe and later in Russia and other countries.
Although the main way of expressing his feelings are sad, tragic epitaph, any restrictions and rules here.There were times when tombstones were written and funny poems, and even jokes.Only an unwritten rule - do not write about the deceased bad, rudely, and so on. N.
also worth say a few words about how to apply the inscription on the monument.There are two main ways - is engraved letters and application overhead.Detail into the details of the process is not necessary, but it makes sense to clarify that the engraving is of several types: manual, laser, sandblasting and automated manual.
