What do you want on your gravestone?
Mine you ask? Why, it will say, "Ready or not, here I come"

Aww, this breaks my heart. You are so very important. We need to talk.

Don't much care what happens to my ashes. If I had to say I think I'd want them fertilizing daffodils, no other marker.

One I have always liked is:
Remember friend as you walk by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you will surely be
Prepare thyself to follow me.

However I want none.

I purchased a small basic marker with nothing other than my name and dates.
IMO choosing your own epitaph is a lot like getting a tattoo.
You may come to regret your choice.

Gravestone will be the upright granite one from the VA with name, rank, both Vietnam and Gulf War, DoB and DoD.
To be placed at the Nashville National Cemetery.
I'll be cremated, and hopefully someone in the family will use some of the insurance money to fly to Oahu
and throw some of my ashes at my favorite surf spot.
If not, oh well...

From a graveyard in Aberdeen....
Here lie the bones of Elisabeth Charlotte,
Born a virgin, died a harlot.
She was aye a virgin at seventeen,
A remarkable thing in Aberdeen.

Reminds me of King of the Hill, Hank's father and his friends had their ashes flushed down a toilet once used by General Patton. I think it was in a seedy bar...

No marker because I plan to be cremated. I've always believed land should be the domain of the living, not the dead. If I had a gravestone I'd want it to say, "A life well lived"
My father-in-law's gravestone says, "Measure twice, cut once"

A gravestone? I was wishing for a pyramid.
Or, you could just have: "See?"Told you I was ill....
