Grave inscription (7)
I believe the answer is:
epitaph
'grave inscription' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for epitaph that I've seen before include "RIP, for example" , "Words inscribed on tombstone." , "Words written in memory of the dead" , "Obituary" , "Statement of commemoration for a dead person" .)
