There won’t be anything except what’s already there. My family’s grave is collective; the “main” names space ran out about 6 funerals ago and it’s unlikely we’ll start on the rest due to one of my cousins not being buried there.
So I’ll just be part of where it says “(my great-grandfather’s name) and family.”
A date at least 60 years into the future.
Here lies Myriad
buried alive
“You didn’t listen!!”, I guess. Another one who doesn’t want a tombstone and just wants to be cremated, ashes spread.
By the time you read this, I will be dead…
Your message here – Ask about our low rates!
I once told my wife: “When I die, I want to be cremated, and to have my ashes spread in the dumpster behind the crematorium”. She wasn’t amused.
“I’ll Be Right Back!”
Keep it down up there!
Oh…I like that one!
The classic in this vein is
“Remember me, as you pass by
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, so you shall be
So prepare for death, and follow me”
I’ve always been partial to “GONE TO BE AN ANGLE”
That or “GOTCHA YA!”
Get off my lawn!
“Game over”
I don’t want a tombstone; I want to be cremated and my ashes flushed. If, by some chance, I end up with a tombstone, I want it to say, “I came, I saw, I died.” That will about cover it, I think.
Et Eärello Endorenna utúlie’n. Sinome maruvan tenn’ Ambar-metta. Utúlie’n lomë ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë. Auta nán i lomë. Aurë Entuluva!
(Out of the great sea of Middle-earth I have come. Here I shall abide until the ending of the world. Night has come and all paths are drowned deep in shadow. But night passes. Day will come again!)
A mirror.
“Here lies pravnik, Author of the Declaration of American Independence, the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedon, and Father of the University of Virginia.”
I think that one’s taken.
