What would you want said on your gravestone?

[sundown12]

"what was i made for?"

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

I want to be buried in nature. Permission is required from the county administrativ board which must be applied for after death. Gravestones get destroyed over time.

when I go missing, my loved ones may honor me however they want.

'life is no way to treat an animal' is cliché but i like it (also i'm not sure it's been used for an actual gravestone), otherwise 'protect trans youth'

tbh though i wanna have a woodland burial. the place i found near me lets you have a tree or shrub planted. would pick a cinnamon one

 

[Abyssal]

Already know I'm getting cremated.

For the sake of this thread though?

"Meow meow meow"

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

Tormented and clueless

 

[the old man]

I told you I would but nobody listened

 

[waningmoth]

Im hoping human composting gets the go ahead soon, otherwise id just leave the grave unmarked. Hermit in life, hermit in death

 

[annxietty]

Im not getting one, Im sure lol but if I were to have one I would like it to say something like
"She tried, she really did"
Its cringe I know, but yeah

 

[panda0342]

"Atheist"

 

[jbear824]

While I personally want to be cremated and then fed to people as an ingredient in some special brownies, if I had a tombstone I'd want it to say either:

" You shouldn't have stepped there....uh oh..."

Or "he died doing the only thing he was good at. Suckin dick"

Or "congratulations, by stepping this close to this grave you have now contracted a highly contagious form of homosexuality."

 

[walkingdead2023]

"no name"

 

[MatrixPrisoner]

 

[bonkers570]

I would write :" Psychiatry killed me"

 

[PrettyPotato]

Cremation for me, but gravestone would read
'caution - do not eat'.

I have always loved this poem by Clare Harner, The Gypsy

Do not stand
By my grave, and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning's hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave, and cry—
I am not there,
I did not die.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I want to be cremated so- no gravestone. But, if I were to have one, I'd love something funny. I love this guy's sense of humour... not a gravestone but a voice recording... movement activated maybe. Give people a bit of entertainment...

[Seered Doom]

Some random person, I guess

I don't know who this is, I just get paid to write shit on gravestones. Don't look at me as if I know what I'm doing.

 

[Hysteria]

I want to offer my body for research without ethical limits because I wanted to do it if I could have beared life longer. I speculate I'll still get a gravestone despite not requiring it, so I might as well design a line for it. Writing "There's no Spirit Healer here." would be something I would appreciate, but I believe people who have a chance of seeing my grave wouldn't understand it. "Don't look in the mirror." or "I'm behind you." would give content for paranormal fans (I loved horror.), but most likely, it'd turn into a mockery. At the end, I might propose a funny line like "Still tripping." I don't believe in the afterlife, but I don't want to be cremated because I'm not sure there wouldn't be a breathtaking trip going on as my body decomposes. It's worth a shot.
