What do you want your tombstone to have written on it?

I was going to say, I will have no tombstone, I want to be cremated and i want my ashes dispersed. Anyway if should I have a tombstone, I would like "Anna was there to help, as she is here, she missed".

Mine would probably be life, "Felicia, a literal ghost writer. No, seriously, she is still writing postmortem!"

I hope mine will say simply: He Loved, and was Loved. He will be missed.

"She loved her husband, children, and most of all, her God"

I've already told my kids if they put me in the ground I would haunt them in their sleep forever. I want to be cremated and my ashes left in the Adirondack Mountains.

I have no idea! This is one area I have completely over looked.... I need to go ahead and buy mine, have something awesome written on it

I would be happy if it read The Longest Living human finally rests here.

I would want it to say that I was a loving wife and mother.

Mine will be regular.Will be buried at the Veteran's cemetery. Just my duty in the service and time.

I want my tombstone to say: "It didn't make him stronger." {borrowing from the phrase "whatever doesn't kill you will only make you stronger."} Of course, I plan on being cremated also, so your "what if" question got a "what if" answer! haha

I plan on being cremated too @AbbyGreenhill . But on the container that my daughter will take back to Nebraska with her; it will say, "Yo goofy Momma."

I know its a what if question but that sounds more like an obituary statement. Most tombstones i see are shirt with just name and dates. Or say "loving father. Son. Nephew. Friend". I havent thought about it. But probably just my name and dates.

@AbbyGreenhill You have touched upon an interesting, but delicate topic. Hmm, thinking about it for a sec, I would like it to say, " She did not live in vain!" However, like you my wish is to be cremated. So, no tombstone for me; just a memory!

Visiting My Ancestors

Haha what a hard question to answer. All i can hope for is something nice.

I would want mine to say "Peacekeeper with the patience of a saint, loved by her husband and children."

I think mine would say something like this: Sue was honest and kind and ready for the next adventure. I will be cremated and my ashes spread out in Black Lake in Upstate New York.

My husband and I also wish to be cremated so no tombstone, but if I had one I would want it to say she loved her kids to the end.

I would like my name both in Hebrew and English the dates and loved my animals and maybe say I had a purpose in life. I really cannot think that far ahead and actually I hate thinking of that. I am sure people will put what they want unless I have it written down somewhere to make sure what I want put on it will be there. I will not be around to see so I will not know what is put there are not put there.

"You have now awakened the old spirit. You shall be visited this midnight!" :D PS: I will be cremated according to Hindu tradition, which means I won't have a tombstone either :P
