Translation

Here Lies Buried

An important woman
An endearing spirit and good-hearted
Mrs. Rivkah the daughter of
R” Hayiim Yehudah, may his memory be for blessing
Feigenbaum from Tarnow
The Maidens saw her and they rejoiced
Shining as the sun and beautiful as the moon
Her children rise up and sing her praises
The Light: You excel over all

(Line 7 - Song of Songs 6:9: My dove, my perfect one, is only one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bore her. The maidens saw her, and called her happy;
Line 8 - Song of Songs 6:10: Who is she that looks forth like the dawn, beautiful like the moon, bright like the sun. (Note the inscription reverses the phrasing in Song of Songs 6:10)
Line 9 - Proverbs 31: 28: (From “A woman of Valor” – traditionally recited at Jewish funerals). “Her children rise up and sing her praises, and her husband praises her.
