Ok...100 years from now we won't be around anymore..
Don't take too seriously...but think of someone stopping by your grave..reading your best line;
This is mine:
NOBODY LIVES FOREVER...BUT I TRIED UNSUCCESFULLY.

Personally I'd want some sort of fitting and proper text from the hearts of my kids. I wouldn't want anything in my own words or written by my own hand - unless of course I become world famous for a quote.-
i think it would be nice to know that what you wrote will be written when people pass by...they can understand who is there with your own words
-
ok
-
-
I would have no words left to be said for I would have done it all said it all been it all:o)-
thats nice too
-
hmmm flat
-
hmmm
-
-
This is what I want:
Free your body and soul
Unfold your powerful wings
Climp up the highest mountains
Kick your feet up in the air
You may now live forever
Or return to this earth
Unless you feel good where you are
tell me when you get it
buzz buzz-
buzz buzz?

oh, thats my signature tagline. I dont want that on my gravestone, i want the above seven lines.
-
that is a nice poem
-
yeah it is nice, especially the first letter in each line, read it vertically. I got it from some other guy
-
piodalcin's 2nd reply -
you are a poet fly buzzzzzzzzzzz -
its seem you success on how to balancing between your mind and spirit.
very impress. -
FLy, that is really deep!
-
-
I won't be able to write anything on it, I'll be dead. But if I decided before-hand to have somebody do it for me, maybe, "$hit happens."-
maybe because you are supposed to write it before you die...
-
hmmm
-
damn it...i was going to use that line! Great minds! -
i like this
-
-
I'd just like one word "Bollocks!"-
HAHAHA I love that! What else are you going to be thinking after you die1
-
-
translate..plz
-
It's English for Balls.
-
British English?
-
Yep.
-
-
"What are you looking at"
I forgot who wanted this one
"At Least It's Not France"
I read it somewhere-
thats funny...hahaahaa
-
hmmm
-
-
I wouldn't do this, but W. C. Fields is supposed to have the epitaph, "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." Or something like that.
-
ahahahaha
-
-
Then there's the classic, "I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK."
-
looool
-
i like this at least is funny
-
-
It'd be tempting to have something like, "BACK OFF, YOU'RE BLOCKING MY VIEW" inscribed, but death is a fairly serious subject, so I wouldn't. No sense shocking people.
Seriously, I probably won't have an epitaph on my grave marker, or whatever more-or-less permanent reminder gets put up. If one of the family wants to, fine.
While I'm on the subject, I did a little checking, and found this interesting bit:
The Epitaph of Young Benjamin Franklin
The body of
B. Franklin, Printer
(Like the Cover of an Old Book
Its Contents torn Out
And Stript of its Lettering and Gilding)
Lies Here, Food for Worms.
But the Work shall not be Lost;
For it will (as he Believ'd) Appear once More
In a New and More Elegant Edition
Revised and Corrected
By the Author.
Benjamin Franklin's Final Epitaph
Benjamin and Deborah Franklin: 1790
(from sln.fi.edu/franklin/timeline/epitaph.html )-
hmmm too gross... sorry benj you could have done better

This will be great if I were a lawyer:
The defense rests.-
Good one.
-
hmmm kinda flat
-
-
This is what I want
"Weblogian part 2 coming soon"-
Not at all bad! (Remember, I'm from Minnesota, the "it could be worse" state.)
-
lol
-
hmm kinda flat...
-
-
"We actually don't know where he is...But surely he's dead by now."-
lol acha nice
-
ahahaha...great i really like it
-
-
"Don't look down... I'm going to grab your ankle."
or
"One at a time please."-
hmmm flat
-
Oh well. There goes my last chuckle then.

"Here lies the body of Mary Lee died at the age of 103.. for fifteen years she kept her virginity.. not a bad record for this vicinity".. haha.. guess where thats come from for all u movie buffs?.. this is actually what is inscribed on a headstone in Ireland... and used in the movie Jaws... i thought it was pretty funny.. dont no if i'd have one like that thou.. lol-
not bad
-
-
"Bitchin"
lol-it's too late at night to think of something profound. -
I told you I was sick;)-

-
-
"DUH"
-
How about..I Told You I Was ill...We think alike, jsinkeywest. -
this is a classic see above comments...looking 4 something original...
-
I still like the poem I put up. But I dont think anyone got it. The first letter of each line spells a message for the world.
-
-
I have no clue. -
She was a blogger-
cute but flat
-
-
Here lies a man who was so well-endowed that a second grave was necessary.-
hmmm thinking
-
-
Well, I'm for the whole green burial or cremation deal - I do not want my remains to stay in a cemetary and shuffled around when no living descendants claim me, but...
"She was the embodiment of life, but to live fully, she left the body."-

This is what I wrote some months ago:
Last wish
Bury me in a quiet place.
Leave me there and forget me.
Let the weeds grow on my grave,
Let me sleep in peace.
Put up a head stone,
That will last the storms
For generations to come;
To let them wonder who I was.
I have the spot looked up.
There is this wonderful burial ground in a middle of a rain forest in a small town that lets the graves go untouched... And as for the stone, the last line of the poem:
"Let them wonder who I was." -
One of my crazy aunts says there's a grave near Cork that says
Wherever you be, let your wind flow free
For that was the cause of killing me
that was her excuse for farting in public-
hmmm
-

Here lies what once was a beautiful women. Then she got married and had four kids and they ran her into the ground....lolol....kidding....but thought it was funny...I will let my family write whatever they fill best describes me...it will prolly read "This women, wife, mom, sister, daughter and freind loved as much as she was loved, lived life to the fullest as she could being poor and left us all very rich...we love you! Yes life insurance is the best thing you can do for your family...my family will be taken care of...
-
tooo looooooong
-
-
Missed by some, remembered by all!!!! -
hmmm flat.not creative
-
I'm not getting any stone, I'll be cremated, and spread out over some mountain range or ocean somewhere. Therefore, I don't have to think of a thing! -
fine mr ash
-
-
I shall wait on the other side - ye shall wonder which one. hahaaa
And yeah, I got me a creative commons on that, cuz that's what us writers do. ROTFLMAO -
kinda flat too not too creative in my humble opinion...but uf it makes you laugh you are more than welcome
-
"If you haven't heard of me then I died before I finished my life goals"
or
"It is not what is written here that matters, but what has been written into the lives of all those that I knew that truly holds merit."-
too long
-
-
Mine would say: "What the hell?"
I want the question mark to be extra big! -
hmmm
-
when I was in a sober mood
I worried, worked and thought
when I was in a drunken mood
I gambled, drank and fought
But when my moods were over
and my time had come to pass
I asked to be buried upside down
so the world could kiss my ass
go on, go on.. -
"Now I'm really going to raise hell!"
Wild women RULE! -
hmmm
-
Mine should read something like....
Yeah they got me too, so what?
You're next. -
I remember answering this many months ago. Anyway, my answer was...
"This fucking sucks" -
Something I saw on the Gosmellaflower blog on their grave marker words contest.
'Please don't Digg or Stumbleupon me.'-

-
-
"STOP DANCING!!!!!"-

"Mow the grass, PLEASE."-
hmmm
-
-

------------------

hmmmm
-
-
I was once alive-
hmmmm
-
-
"I wish you were here instead... I'd be out there laughing"
-
"Dang, I'm out of beer"
-
this is bad
-
-
This is the most creative for today...thumbs up ernest
-
thank you.. lol
-

I'm torn between something irreverent, like:
"I am dead and in the ground, six feet down, I'll be found. Soon it will be your turn too, six feet down, in the ground!"
or something more profound, like:
"I was the reason for the love of my ancestors, but am now the history of my descendants."
Personally, if I could truly have it my way, I'd have a headstone that I could reach my ghostly hand up to erase and rewrite on as often as I liked.-
you failed the test come back next term
-
-
Been here, done that, trying something new.-
i like this one
-
-
"Insert Beer Here" and I'd have an open mouth built into my headstone.-
hmmm
-
-
Much work, much food. Little work, little food. No work, burial.-
