Personal account that gets carved up when one's dead? (7)
I believe the answer is:
epitaph
This clue might be a double definition.
'personal' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'account that gets carved up when one's dead?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epitaph that I've seen before include "Grave message" , "Memorial words" , "Dead' record" , "Words written on tombstone" , "RIP, for example" .)
