WATMM norsemen / metalheads

A damn good friend of mine died very recently. He was Icelandic, and was, like any good Norseman, quite into old norse / viking culture and all that. so I was pushing for him to have an inscription on his stone in old Norse runes or similar.

Does anyone here know Icelandic / Faroese / old Norse well enough to come up with similar phrases to this one, or to confirm this one as being vaguely accurate? (obviously not in runes cos my keyboard doesnt have runes lol)

"við rista rúnir að minningum hans"

in archaic Icelandic, apparently means

"we carved/rose runes that remember him"

essentially based on "Runes to my Memory" by Amon Amarth

condolences, i hope someone can help you out with this.

any reason why he's not getting a viking funeral pyre?

his two icelandic uncles can actually read this too, which is pretty fucking awesome. they exist at the pinnacle of norseness.

my sincere condolences followed with expressions of appreciation for how awesome that is. i'm really jealous of your mate now.

...but obviously not the whole... y'know... dying thing...

fuck.
