Tombstones

Anyone read old tombstones, found a great one in our churchyard, the last two lines go like this,
Read and mark well, The Lord knows who next must follow me
Take care lest it be thee.

 

That is an interesting hobby. Bit morbid perhaps.

I am thinking for mine, "Game Over." :-D

 

The one I loved is from Tombstone, Arizona

I think this quote is right. It is a long time since I visited Tombstone. :-D

From Boot Hill Cemetery, Tombstone, Arizona


He was young

He was fair

But the Injuns

Raised his hair

Wife of Ralph Swensen


that's it, not Mrs. Ralph Swensen, no first name and no dates, found it kinda strange but then again i was reading headstones in an old cemetery:confused

 

Mine might say something like:

"Can I get a reboot?" --or--

"An unrecoverable error occurred"

:-D

 

Even from the grave he/she wants to scare people,bit of an A-hole :-D

If the lord knows who's next what difference does it make what you do?

"Million dollar reward if you can bring this body back to life."

 

I love the epitaph on one of Goon's (Spike Milligan) tombstone (now slightly altered)
I Told You I Was Sick

Comedy legend Spike Milligan has finally got the last laugh, more than two years after his death. It follows an agreement with the local diocese over the wording on the headstone of his grave at St Thomas's Church in Winchelsea, East Sussex.

Relatives of the former Goon have now decided that it can bear the star's epitaph: "I told you I was ill." However, the inscription had to be written in Gaelic in order for it to be approved by the Chichester Diocese.

Milligan, who was an Irish passport holder, was buried close to his home in Udimore after he died, aged 83, from liver failure in February 2002.
