Igor Stravinsky composed in 1958 ''[[Epitaphium (Stravinsky)|Epitaphium]]'' for flute, clarinet and harp. In 1967 [[Krzysztof Meyer]] called his Symphony No. 2 for choir and orchestra ''Epitaphium Stanisław Wiechowicz in memoriam''.

The South African poet Gert Vlok Nel wrote an (originally) untitled song, which appeared on his first music album "Beaufort-Wes se Beautiful Woorde" as "Epitaph", because his producer Eckard Potgieter told him that the song sounded like an epitaph. [[David Bowie]]'s final album, ''[[Blackstar (album)|Blackstar]]'', released in 2016, is generally seen as his musical epitaph, with singles "[[Blackstar (song)|Blackstar]]" and "[[Lazarus (David Bowie song)|Lazarus]]" often singled out.
