An epitaph (literally: "on the gravestone" in ancient Greek) is text honoring the deceased, most commonly inscribed on a tombstone or plaque. Traditionally an epitaph is in verse, but there are exceptions. Many poets have been known to compose their own epitaphs prior to their death.

Many are quotes from holy texts, or aphorisms. A good epitaph is considered to be one that is memorable, or at least makes one think. A wry trick of many successful epitaphs is to 'speak' to the reader and warn them about their own mortality; another is a request of the reader to get off their resting place, as often it would require the reader to stand on the ground above the coffin to read the inscription. Some record achievements, (e.g. past politicians note the years of their terms of office) but nearly all (excepting the tomb of the unknown soldier, where this is impossible) note name, date of birth and date of death.

It depends what you are asking. Are you asking whether the English word "god" has a meaning; and if so what is it? Or are you asking whether "God (the Creator" has meaning in who He is and what He does? The first question about the Eng word "god"; well to be honest, I do NOt know what is the origin of the word. I guess I can check online, but that would be me just regurgitating what someone else has written. I tend to think of the Eng word "god" to refer to "a or the Creator". When used of the biblical God, then I would refer to "God" as meaning "the uncreated Creator who is full of power and might; a king who has the right and ability to judge, but is not confined to a physical form" As for whether the God of the Bible has meaning... I would say that the question is the wrong way round: the God of the Bible is the means by which ALL else has meaning. No thing can have meaning unless the God of the Bible is truly who He says He is. I understand then that this implies that one has to accept that the God of the Bible - 1 - Exists 2 - Can be experienced by mankind 3 - The Bible is an accurate account of God communicating with mankind (in its original language) I guess what could help answer the second question is "Why should anything have meaning?" Or better still "Why are humans looking for meaning in things?" across ALL cultures throughout all of recorded history... Hope this helps

The word in question should be "epitaph" (and not 'epiteph').

If that be the case, it means "An inscription on a tombstone or monument in memory of the person buried there".

It is a memorial built in remembrance of some one.

If it's "epitaph", it's something written on a gravestone. Or "epithet" is a word or phrase used to describe a person or a thing.

You probably mean "epitaph." It's the inscription on your tombstone or the plaque covering your grave. For example, I want my epitaph to read: "She made a difference."

I believe you mean the word "epitaph". Epitaph are the words written on a tombstone or grave marker.

"WORDS WRITTEN IN THE MEMORY OF A PERSON WHO HAS DIED ESPECIALLY AS A TOMB INSCRIPTION." this word is derived from a greek word EPITAPHION which means FUNERAL ORATION.
