On your tombstone

[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

Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."
Edgar Allan Poe
(Westminster Presbyterian Cemetery; Baltimore, Maryland)


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 shall be buried next to my mom. I will be between my husband and mom.
Here is another funny one.

Here lies Flo and Frank Harding
Married 47 years.
Only two of those were happy.

Or

I told you I was sick.

Heres a bunch of interesting Headstone scripts. I like them in the way
the people kept their humor till the end.

My dad had a million and one funny sayings. He frequently said things like, "Tomorrow, if I don't wake up dead, I'll meet for breakfast." or "One of these days, when I wake up dead ..." He never swore, at all, the harshest thing out of his mouth was "Dad Burn It!"

After he passed away, my mom, sister and I were at the funeral home, picking out his head stone. The manager asked if we wanted anything written on the head stone. I said, "How about, "Dad Burn It! I TOLD ya'll I was gonna wake up dead one of these days!" We all just burst out laughing. And I'm positive my dad was right there with us, cracking up, too.

No head stone for me, either.
