Was thinking about this, after Timothy posted something here tonight that would make a lovely epitaph. He wrote these words on another post - "Forever Sleep, Earned It, I have." I really like that.

But for me I have told the colonel that I want these 4 words only, "I Hope They Dance", and it would be truly heaven if they do!

Colonel Moroni would like his to read "I'd rather be golfing"

What do you want said on yours?

But my ex's aunt had a husband who was a lifelong hypochondriac. When he finally passed (in his 80s) she wanted to engrave his headstone with, "I told you I was ill"

Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.

"Thank God Almighty, I'm Dead At Last!"

You guys are killing me.

Be happy.

How about, "OMG, It's About Time!!!"

Or, "Beam Me UP, Joe"- that from Col. M. - he loves star trek!

Love yours think4u. I just want something to the effect that life is good if you think of the bright side and I tried.

Maybe something like

" I tried, I cried, I loved"

how about, get over it!

sunyata (emptiness)

or, maybe if there's room,

gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi swaha

"Dywedais wrthych Roeddwn yn sâl"

or

"Symud drosodd. Peidiwch â sefyll ar fy bedd"

or

"Lle i un yn fwy"

"I thought, therefore I was"

Anagrammy

So good!

If my TBM kids could choose for me, I'm sure they'd like something like:

"Prodigal daughter makes good on promise to return home. Thank you, God!"

Or to them I would like to have written,

"Guess who's talkin' to God now!"

She always asked "Why?"

My mother used to say to me, if god told everyone to be quiet, you would ask "why?"

Don't accept what everyone else thinks to be true, unless it makes sense. If it can't be defended with reason and examples then it is false.

Obviously I would have made a very very very bad mormon. Unfotunatly, I will probably be dead dunked as one as my cousin married a mo and has two daughters. He got out and got divorced but the girls are being brought up to be sex rewards for RMs.

"The weather is here. Wish you were beautiful. Party on, Mates!"

Timothy

You are most creative! And funny. Love it!

This just popped into my head:

"They were RIGHT, I only lived once!."

...the headstone merely reads, "Party on, Mates!"

Not sure why, but this is one of the funniest to me!

I tried my best to wash the garbage off

I'd still rather be here than Clemson.

I'm not here.

"Tomorrow is another day"

(From "Gone With the Wind".) It expresses my essential optimism.

"He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."

What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been.

Mad, Bad & Dangerous To Know.

That's My Name. Don't Wear It Out.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

I told DW I want on my tombstone:

"At last he's dead serious."

Without a moment of hesitation she said.

"I will but I'll leave off the last word."

Pay Lay Alol

LOL here, that 's great!

or maybe

" I told you the Mo's had it wrong!" or

"Longest headache I've ever had!"

"The journey, though not easy, well worth the ride."

"Best ride ever despite the cost."

"He lived life on his terms."

Young man,
Seize every minute
Of your time.


The days fly by;
Ere long you too
Will grow old.


Its from a poem by Tsu Yeh.

I defied correlation and manmade doctrines for the REAL Gospel.

To my exwives....no peeing.

I actually did that - urinated on the vault of the guy who had killed my 2-year-old son 9 years previously (it was after the graveside service and before they covered it with dirt). It was good...

I ate what I wanted
I drank what I wanted
I made up my own prayers
and I died happy

Here lays Ms Spaghetti Oh
Fairly dead from head to toe
But please don't despair
Or say some dumb prayer
Just raise a glass of Bordeaux


:-)

How about a little couplet?

As you are, I once was.
As I am, you will be.

Excellent

"She never did do what she was told."

Or perhaps:

"Nothing worse than a foul-mouthed woman."

"NO is still my answer to your Dead Dunk"

or

"DILLIGAF"

I'm going to be cremated and on my husbands grave there will be a small cooper plate with my name, dates, and "Gone to Montana". That is heaven to me.

When I'm a zombie, I'm coming for your children.

Meteorstruck

And now the world is a better place

Or simply:

Get the fuck off my grave!

Bury me face down, 'cause my ass is tired...
