On your tombstone

[Marigold2]

I have a book with funny tombstones sayings. I have just now looked for it but cannot find it. I do remember one was
"I knew this would happen"
So I started to think, what did I want on my tombstone.
Nothing mushy or sad or run of the mill.
Mine would have to say something about my love of animals.
Here is a rough draft, hope I don't need it for a long time.

You are standing on Monica
A fun mother.
A crazy and loyal friend.
A women who loved animals deeply
On to the next adventure

[Taz_Zoee]

I've never really thought about this. But I like the idea of referencing my animals. I might say something along the lines of "mother of furry kids". Since I do not have skin children. And I will ALWAYS have furkids.

[Marigold2]

Fur children, I like that.
Perhaps one could just put.

I WASN'T READY.

or

SO SOON
TOO SOON

I hope I am so old that I can write: It's about time

[DJFyrewolf36]

I want mine to say:

"Hey you, yes YOU! If you mess with this memorial rest assured that you will soon be not resting assured..." lol

[Genny]

Lol-I've never thought about that! I don't wanna think about it

Nothing will be on my tombstone as I'm not being buried. I will be cremated, and my ashes scattered into Narragansett Bay.

Here was buried Thomas Jefferson,
author of the Declaration of American Independence,
of the statute of Virginia for religious freedom,
and father of the University of Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson
(Monticello, Virginia)

Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."

Here Rests in
Honored Glory
An American
Soldier
Known But to God
Unknown Soldier
(Arlington National Cemetery; Virginia)

I won't have a headstone either, I chose cremation. My ashes will be
mixed with Buddy's & scattered in my favorite, local state park.


I do like to read headstones, especially the funny or "thoughtful" ones.

I'm with you on that one. I won't make it back to Narragansett Bay, but I've got it specified I'm to be cremated and scattered - the park behind our house is where right at this point in my life.

i'm planning on being cremated, i've asked eileen to mix my ashes with dukes' and alexs', then sprinkle all of us from a boat off the shore of my favorite lake michigan beach. i had a paving stone made for alex the wonder dog and it will be set at the park of roses. i'd like one for me as well, next to his, just my name, and the statement on it, she made a difference for humans and dogs. anyone want an obituary in their local paper?
