What's On Your Headstone?

[JustAName]

My roommate and I were discussing this idea recently, since we live close to a cemetery (it is, unfortunately, gated and also a military cemetery so not as picturesque as some). Barring the fact that neither of us will probably have headstones since there are much cooler things to do with bodies than bury them, our general ideas were:

Me: [Name and other standard stuff] "PICNICKERS ETC. WELCOME" I like this idea because, frankly, cemeteries can be cool places to hang out, but it's nice to know that the person upon whose grave you're partying/reading/whatever would be cool with it.

Hers was: "GOTHS WELCOME" because she likes the idea of a lot of goths taking really cheesy/happy pictures with her headstone.

What about you guys? Somber? Friendly? Tongue-in-cheek?

[Lurkon]

I'd like to think I'd have something funny on my headstone, but I don't really know what it would be.

Feed Dump episode I thought was relevant wasn't relevant. Can't find the one I was thinking of.

[Darkobra]

I want my name in huge writing. Massive. And then I want in tiny writing, barely noticeable so you have to lean in close to read it:

You're standing on my balls.

[Psyclone]

This seems relevant.

"There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the shadow was only a small and passing thing: There was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach." -JRR Tolkein

My name can probably be fitted around that somewhere

With any luck, mine will read:

She would like to compare them

And there'll be a little slot.

[Elomin Sha]

I want something moving on my grave, a slug.

[NebulosDisconcertion]

You are not dead. Well done.

I don't know why I thought that was going to go well.

I foresaw your death last night.

You should see the other guy.

Being alive is the worst disease.

"Whoops"


"I drank what?"


"Be right back."


"Dammit! You wasted some perfectly good arable land for this? AND ignored my last wishes about cremation, too? Boy, you're lucky I'm dead!"

[Kapol]

"In death as in life, laying down."

"Didn't see it coming."

"Saw it coming."

"Gave consent to be the victim in a real life Clue game. Didn't realize the implications."

"Get off me!"

"I am now everywhere, always and forever"

[Phailhammer]

"This side up."

"Is Half-Life 3 out yet?"

[Master Gunner]

I'd prefer "This side down."

Buried with her expensive worthless pieces of paper... ain't that right, Doc?

My roomamte donated to a kickstarter game and one of his rewards, he got to create a tombstone in the game. He used a running joke from our D&D games as he figured they would make pretty good famous last words.

Here lies
Capt. Lorne Grategy.
"I'm the captain, I make the decisions."

"Not dead, just a heavy sleeper."

Here lies treasure.

Translates from Gaelic into English as "I told you I was ill"

[JayBlanc]

I had the pirate gold buried with me.

[Mums]

I really like the "I told you I was ill" thing.
Also I like Charles Bukowskis "Don't try".
