Lapidary style

Lapidary style is prose that is appropriate for memorials, mausoleums, stelae, and other commemorations in which words are "etched in stone"; it is concise, pithy, elegant, and sentitious. The meaning extends to text in that style which is printed on paper rather than carved into monuments.
