If you could put anything on your tombstone, what would it say?

I thought of this when watching The Royal Tenenbaums , where a character engraved, "’’Died tragically at sea heroically rescuing his family from a shipwreck’’ on his headstone. If you could go all-out, what would you engrave above *your* final resting place?

You're welcome to visit
For whatever that's worth.
Just know that this headstone
Covers nothing but earth.

Sarah donated her body
To a medical lab,
So that you could avoid
Ending up on a slab.

You can see her in Zion
Where her ashes were flung.
Just watch out for deep breaths
Or she'll end up in your lungs.

"Hey! Move your damn foot....I may be dead but that doesn't mean you can walk all over me!"

May not be as funny as it seems...but I would get a good laugh if I saw that on someones tombstone....Plus people always seem to try and 'walk all over me' so it would be an inside joke between me and my friends and some family.

good question!

Don't stand at my grave and weep,
For I'm not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circle flight,
I am soft stars that shine at night,
Don't stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

I haven't decided to write anything specific up to now. But here is what comes into my mind at the moment. I don't know how to say this in English properly :(

"No matter how many acres you own. All you finally get is a 6-inch grave."

I too thought of asking a similar question after reading this article about a grave which carries a message "Smoking Killed Me" in Great Britain.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1254881/Cigarettes-killed-Message-smoker-funeral-hearse.html

This question also reminds me of a joke I read a couple of weeks ago.

The Irish Virgin
--------------------
In a tiny village on the Irish coast lived an old lady, a virgin - and very proud of it. Sensing that her final days were rapidly approaching, and desiring to make sure everything was in proper order when she dies, she went to the town's undertaker (who also happened to be the local postmaster) to make the proper "final" arrangements.

As a last wish, she informed the undertaker that she wanted the following inscription engraved on her tombstone: "BORN A VIRGIN, LIVED AS A VIRGIN, DIED A VIRGIN."

Not long after, the old maid died peacefully.

A few days after the funeral, as the undertaker/postmaster went to prepare the tombstone that the lady had requested, it became quite apparent that the tombstone that she had selected was much too small for the wording that she had chosen.

He thought long and hard about how he could fulfill the old maid's final request, considering the very limited space available on the small piece of stone.

For days, he agonized over the dilemma.

But finally, his experience as a postmaster helped him come up with what he thought was the appropriate solution to the problem.

The virgin's tombstone was finally completed and duly engraved, and it read as follows: "RETURNED UNOPENED."

I have been called "Sunshine" by so many people that I met in my life and it just kinda clings to me. From babysitting at the age of 14 till now age 50 I still get called "Sunshine". Mine would read, "Sunshine has come to awakening the Angels of Heaven"

I think I would like:

Here lies no beautiful corpse,
But, only the mortal remains of a beautiful life.

But my favorite gravestone of all time is one that quotes the last few lines of the poem
"Epitaph on a Child Killed by Procured Abortion " by Anonymous.

Two adverse tyrants ruled thy wayward fate,
Thyself a helpless victim to their hate;
Love, spite of honour's dictates, gave thee breath;
Honour, in spite of love, pronounced thy death.
