Do you only put “son” or “daughter” on a headstone if they are survived by their parents?
We are choosing the wording for my aunt’s headstone. I suggested that we include “beloved daughter, sister and aunt”.
My sister said you’d only include “daughter” if she were survived by her parents.
I said that headstones are not for the living, but for posterity. All of the roles she had while she was alive.
What’s the right call here?
