A monumental inscription is an inscription, typically carved in stone, on a grave marker, cenotaph, memorial plaque, church monument or other memorial. The purpose of monumental inscriptions is to serve as memorials to the dead. Those on gravestones are normally placed there by members of the deceased's family. Those on memorial plaques inside a religious building are normally placed there by the wider community. The graves of those killed in wars and other armed conflicts are often placed together in military cemeteries in the country where the conflict took place; they are also remembered on war memorials in their own country.

| - Eine Monumentalinschrift ist eine Inschrift, die auf Grabsteinen, Kenotaphen, Gedenktafeln oder anderen Denkmälern angebracht ist. Monumentalinschriften dienen häufig dazu, Verstorbener zu gedenken. Auf Grabsteinen obliegt es für gewöhnlich Familienangehörigen, über ihre Form und Inhalt zu bestimmen, während Gedenktafeln in religiösen Einrichtungen meist einer größeren Gemeinschaft entstammen. Monumentalinschriften stellen eine wichtige Quelle für Ahnenforscher dar, da sie Auskunft über Leben und Tod einschließlich Datumsangaben geben. Gelegentlich können auch Familienverhältnisse bestimmt werden, da nahe Verwandte nicht selten zusammen bestattet wurden. Kriegerdenkmäler beinhalten meist nur Namensauflistungen, da das Todesdatum und der genaue Bestattungsort der im Kriegsgebiet gefallenen Personen meist unbekannt ist. Der Aufstellungsort kann jedoch Aufschluss über die Heimatgemeinde geben. Da viele alte Grabsteine aufgrund von Verwitterung mit der Zeit unleserlich werden, versuchen genealogische Verbände ihre Inschriften in Buchform, auf Mikrofilm oder neuerdings im Internet zu veröffentlichen und so einer breiteren Allgemeinheit zugänglich zu machen.

Monumental inscriptions are important to genealogists and family historians, providing information on the subjects life and death, including dates. Family connections can sometimes be resolved as members of the same family may be buried together. Many old gravestones are now illegible due to weathering, but individuals and family history societies may have recorded their inscriptions and published them, either online, on microfiche or in book form. In England, the Society of Genealogists has a large collection. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has an online database of British and Commonwealth war graves and inscriptions. (en)
