Wording On Tombstone

[237SJ]

I want to add my Mum's name to my Dad's tombstone. The lines of my Dad's details are sort of centralised ie top line - In Memory Of, next line - his christian name, next line - his two middle names, next line - his surname, next line -Loving husband and father next line - date of death next line - his age. My mum isn't buried there but I want her to be recorded as his wife. I don't know how to start it off. And his beloved wife (followed by her details) sounds ok in modern speak but I can't start off with "And". Any ideas?

"Also his beloved..."

[Baldric]

Also is good

Begin with your mother's name, then follow with, "his beloved wife" then her details.

'Reunited with...'

Thanks. I think it might be something along the lines of Ken's idea

You know that by the time you get the engraver to the cemetery (at least here in the U.S.) you could purchase a new marker worded exactly as you'd like it for a reasonable extra sum?

I've seen markers reworked as you are contemplating and it always reminded me of some using 'white out' on an important legal document... tsk, tsk, tsk...

As your Mum isn't actually buried there, would it be better to say "Also in memory of 'Mum', beloved wife of 'Dad'"etc.?

Sddsddean - the first line on that stone says In Memory Of so I don't really need to add it again.

Ah, thats fair enough then.
