[ukoldgit]

Dig me up when you find out if Maple is better than Mahogany!

 

[Geoff06]

I told you I was sick.

I saw that in a cemetery sometime in the late 90s. It's stuck with me forever.

Slightly misquoted it was Spike Milligan "I told you I was ill"

I saw this a couple weeks ago:

 

[ThreeChordWonder]

Here lies Edmund Blackadder

- And he's bloody annoyed.

From Blackadder Goes Forth IIRC.

 

[ThreeChordWonder]

Me?

I expect to be cremated, so my urn will read

He finally quit smoking

- 45 minutes after he got here.

 

[Stratoman10]

That's it. I'm outta here

 

[Jimi Lightning]

“Thanks for coming
Look behind you”

 

[revtime]

I prefer epithets.
Damn it you guys. I told you it was dangerous.

 

[Boubou]

[eoms]

[Della Street]

[Believer7713]

They buried me face down...If you're here to visit me then Pucker up!!!!

 

[trapdoor2]

"This wasn't even in my top 10 list..."

 

[Baelzebub]

Funny to see this.
Not really into the whole burial thing, but on a long car ride yesterday there was some discussion of whether it may be legal here, when the time comes, to be composted. (Yes..that's a thing).

Up till now choice hast been a quick cremation.

There are some in life who serve as a good example. Others, a dire warning. I've always been more in the latter category. So when I came across a phrase recently that cracks us both up, I mentioned that if I were to go the burial route that I'd like it to be my epitaph.

"The Dildo of Consequence is rarely lubricated."

 

[Baelzebub]

That's it. I'm outta here

or the Cartman version... "Screw you guys. I'm going home."

 

[Mouse]

I won't have a choice but I've often said I wouldn't mind this being played at my memorial:



The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down
Every now and then he'll take a look around
And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by
He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again

With trembling hands, he wipes a tear
Many fall like rain, there's one for every year
And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly now lets go

But spare a thought as you pass him by
Take a closer look and you'll say
He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday

A lonely grave, and soon forgot
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear
For anyone who's passing near
It names the person lying here as you
And you, and you, and you

This has always been my top pick for mine.
