What do you want on your tombstone?

I love the classics.

I can come by and leave this traditional graffito to complete the scenario.

"To follow you I’ll not consent
Until I know which way you went. "

MadTheSwine, you swine! Beat me to it!

DAMMIT!:smack:

They’ll call you Qadgop the Nerdy Ghost. :stuck_out_tongue:

“Wake me when the zombie apocalypse comes”

Well, I don’t really want a tombstone, as I want my ashes scattered, but if there was a memorial bench somewhere, I’d like it to say:

“It is a fearful thing to love what death can touch.”

I heard it on an episode of This American Life. I believe it’s the epitaph of Page Smith.

“The world weeps.” Think big, I says.

Considering how much of a fan I am of the X-Files, a quote (though not dialogue) from the show might be appropriate.

All done. Bye bye.

Life’s a bitch

Stealing one here—“Pardon me if I don’t get up.”

This Space for Rent.

we joked (yes, we’re a sick family) that my Dad’s should say, “I’m just resting my eyes”

“This plot reserved for Lord Mondegreen. 250 years old and still going strong.”

I also thought of just a large “X” in conjunction with a beyond-the-grave geocaching medalion that says:

“Wealth is measured in time,
It can only be spent with friends
Is beyond the reach of thieves
Survives in memory past death’s grip”.

Meh.

The advertisement is about meeting other goths near me. Heh.

While I honestly don’t see myself bedding down eternally in a cemetery, I like to think my tombstone would read:

"The Greatest Man That Ever Lived*

*According to Himself"

That is not dead which can eternal lie . . .

Go tell the Spartans . . .

  • or -

The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon
Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon,
Like Snow upon the Desert’s dusty Face
Lighting a little Hour or two—is gone.

Mine would simply display the following:

Penn and Teller actually have a magic trickon theirs. (They’re both still alive of course, but it already works as part of their act and they’ve announced their intention to make it more elaborate “when the time comes”.) I’ve always thought that was cool.

I also think that a Mobius strip headstone would be neat.
