Mine would say:

Hall n Oates, Beach Boys, Huey Lewis and the News, Garth Brooks, Wynonna Judd, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Buddy Guy, Waylon Jennings, Hank Jr., Meatloaf, Jimmy Buffett
And a host of other ones. Most of these were free tickets.

Here lies Ashley Smart, and he’s bloody annoyed.

“Death never dared him captive keep,
He lies not here, he does not sleep.”

It’s actually a rather touching line from a song by Mercedes Lackey, but taken out of context it’s nicely creepy. I want to give little kids nightmares about the undead. :smiley:

Although the “He’s only pining…” one someone mentioned on the linked page is good, too.

Dammit! You were SUPPOSED to bury me on THE MOON! :mad:

I like Krusty’s tombstone. Real happy clown smile, full of teeth, and then:

“SEE YA REAL SOON, KIDS!”

I’d always thought Housman’s Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries would do nicely.

One seen in Key West … I told you I was sick.

Sorry…no more moves.

“Life’s but a walking shadow: a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Here you stand upon an empty grave,
I was burned and scattered in the air -
To ash my corpse was committed.

I am gone and if my friends be brave,
They will not wallow in rank despair -
'Tis better than being pitted.

Well if mine were like Harv’s… let’s see…
Eurythmics, Roger Waters, Pat Benatar, Yes, Madness
(can we leave Styx out of it? oh all right, Styx…) Oingo Boingo … can’t remember any more…

General desire “This world is made of love and peace.” I seriously want that. But Mr. TeaRoses thinks the Jewish cemetary won’t do it.

Only sleeping -
Oh, wait, he IS dead”
