Hi everyone.
My mum died back in July and we are getting round to having the headstone redone. She is buried with her mum and dad and my dad.
I want to somehow recognise that she had a brother that was born and died on the same day, back in 1932. She knew he existed but she thought he was much older than her (she had another brother, 11 years older than her) in fact he was only a year older than her. I got a copy of the death certificate so we know the little one's date of birth.
My mum was sorry that there was nowhere to go to remember her lost brother, so I thought that, as she is buried with her own mum and dad, that their headstone would be the ideal place (the only place) to remember he existed.
The only trouble is, I don't know how or what to put on the headstone.
We dont know where the baby was buried, but can you mention someone on a headstone that is not buried there? Is it right to put "also in memory of X"?
