Writings on your gravestone

Tweet

While browsing the internet, I came accross some epitaphs that just made me laugh. A lot kinda like those people who still manage to amuse us even in deaths. It somewhat got me to think of what my epitaph would be on my gravestone when I die. Have any of you here ever thought of what you want to put written on your gravestone? Below are some examples epitaphs on gravestones that I really find unforgetable - On the 22nd of June - Jonathan Fiddle - Went out of tune. - Here lies Ann Mann,Who lived an old maid. But died an old Mann - I plant these shrubs upon your grave dear wife. That something on this spot may boast of life. Shrubs must wither and all earth must rot. Shrubs may revive, but you, thank heaven, will not. - Lived a life of stress and worry. Rushing through it in a hurry Didn't stop to smell the roses. But now he feeds them as he decomposes - She was a suicide blonde - Dyed by her own hand. - Here lies the body of our Anna. Done to death by a banana. It wasn't the fruit that laid her low. But the skin of the thing that made her go. - ...that nothing's so sacred as honor and nothing's so loyal as love Wyatt Earp (Hills of Eternity; Colma, California) - Gone are the living, but the dead remain, And not neglected; for a hand unseen, Scattering its bounty like a summer rain, Still keeps their graves and their remembrance green. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (The Jewish Cemetery; Newport, Rhode Island) - Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, 'Let Newton be!' and all was light. written by Alexander Pope Sir Isaac Newton (Westminster Abbey, London, England) - Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare, To digg the dust encloased heare! Blest be the man that spares thes stones, And curst be he that moves my bones. William Shakespeare (Holy Trinity Church; Stratford-on-Avon, England) - I am ready to meet my Maker.Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal Of meeting me is another matter.Winston Churchill (Soldier and Statesman) - In perfect health, died in a sudden & unexpected manner, while reading tombstones. LOL!
