What do you want to have written on your Tombstone?

[Dizzi]

I’d rather be cremated so that my loved ones could have things made with my ashes if they wanted to.

I have a beautiful ring made with my beloved kitty’s ashes and I haven’t taken it off since the moment I got it in 2017 (Ashes Into Glass in the UK).

I’ve heard there’s ways to like, use your ashes to plant a tree so that’s a really nice idea too.

here’s my pretty ring for reference!

“THERE ISN’T A DUNGEON UNDER HERE! I SWEAR!”

Dun dun duuuun

 

[TheGreatCthulhu]

I too prefer to be cremated, but, I do love me a fun rhyming epitaph, so here's some that I found amusing.

From a Scottish Graveyard:

The children of Israel wanted bread
And the Lord sent them manna.
Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife,
And the Devil sent him Anna.

On the Tombstone of an Accident Victim in the Uniontown, Pennsylvania Cemetary:

Here lies the body
of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.

On the Tombstone of Anna Hopewell in Enosburg Falls, Vermont:

Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana.
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low,
But the skin of the thing that made her go.

On Fred's Tombstone, Don't Know Where:

Here lies good ol' Fred.
A great big rock fell on his head.

Unknown Tombstone:

Caught for a robbery that I blundered
And thrown in jail for my failed plunder
For breaking the locks
They put me in a box
And now I lie buried six feet under.

The classic, "Imma Goner" would also be funny.

[Dizzi]

umm summat like - yo Diz woz ere bein deaf and natty!!!

 

[Vanessa28]

Or something like " you're standing on my head so get the **** off you fool!"

 

[Chevywolf:30]

My first thought was something like "Congratulations on finding 1/1,000 collectables hidden across the world" or something in that vein, but then I decided that "Well done, my good and faithful servant" would be pretty cool to have.

Also, to those saying they want to be cremated so their families can have a part of them, you're not thinking big enough. Have your family keep your whole skeleton and put you out in the front yard each Halloween.

This is a king move. I approve.

Dress me up with a crown and robe!!

 

[Hyrulian Hero]

When I was a child, I always figured I didn't care to be buried under a tombstone but time and responsibility have convinced me that that would be a strictly selfish decision for me. I have people now who will want to visit to pay respects or whatever and while I don't care personally, it seems like the hight of conceit to tell my family I get to make the decision about what happens to my body when I no longer inhabit it.

As for how my epitaph will read...well, I heard a great nugget of wisdom regarding it. "Don't let 'potential' be written on your tombstone." Corny but wise. Hmmm...I've got it.

"In the end, he went like we all wish we could: quietly in his sleep with a smile on his lips...

...not screaming in terror like his passengers."

 

[The Dashing Darknut]

Super traditional and boring, but I’d want mine to have

“Rest in Peace, he was and always will be loved, he was a light in our lives”

 

[thePlinko]

Two things:

1. I want the tombstone itself to be giant statue of me.

2. I want the inscription to be a declaration of a massive, globe trotting treasure hunt, National Treasure style, with the promised reward being my fortune. Once the hunt is complete and the final clue has been solved, it will be revealed that my fortune consists of $1,000,000,000 worth of Arbys gift cards.

 

[Farore's Chosen]

In really tiny lettering, so they have to kneel to read it, I want, "You are standing on a land mine."

This is is the best thing ever. That and Imma Goner!
