An epitaph is a short poem, about a deceased person, that could be inscribed on a tombstone. Epitaph poems typically rhyme.
Examples of epitaph poetry:
Here lies Eileen Winn
Addicted to her own reflection
So captivating the image
She failed to eat
Her beauty now decays
At a depth of 6 feet

Here lies an
Egyptian Cowboy.
That identity was
Merely a ploy.
He set out to kill
But was stabbed instead.
He had pretty hair
But now he is dead.
