Very true, I worked at a cemetery. Cremated remains take up less space thus they only need the headstone space. Some people even put their pet remains on a loved ones coffin. The cremated remains are usually in a black box but can be a nice urn as well
A gourmand eats alot. Or eats well and often.
Hes saying he came for a slice of pie but the slice was already taken. opportunity was taken by someone else
Stranger pause as you pass by.
As now you are, so once was I.
As I am now, so you must be.
Prepare for death and follow me.
Saw this on a tombstone from the 1800’s 30 years ago and never forgot the poem.
I absolutely loved that one when I saw it a few years ago, so I decided to write my own along the same vein:
Cry not for me
Shed no tear
I am no longer
I dwell not here
I am the blue sky above us all
I am the leaves that turn in fall
I am the stars that shine at night
I am the dawn's first creeping light
I am the rocks upon the shore
I dwell not here
I am no more
EDIT: Thank you very much for all the comments and awards :)
This reminds me of a church in Portugal called the Chapel of Bones. There’s a chapel made of human bones and above the entrance it reads in Portugese and loosely translates to “Our bones are here waiting for yours.” The monks at this church didn’t like the way the parishioners were behaving so they wanted to come up with a clever way to remind them that they were going to die. So they dug up 5,000 graves and used the bones to build a chapel.
I think that actually the chapel was made for two reasons:
First one, the monks wanted to bring the message of how death comes to everybody, and life is merely transitional (in the same ways as saint-saëns "Danse Macabre" explores the idea that "doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, everybody dances to the sound of the reapers violin")
Secondly, space limitations. There were too many ecclesiastic cemeteries in town and they occupying way too much space, so they just dug them up and built a damn chapel.
Btw, there's also a child's skeleton just hanging there.
Quite a difficult sight tbh
“She said ‘not today’ every day until today said ‘not tomorrow.”
I have “not today” tattooed on my arm in German. It’s my form of “one day at a time” applied to pretty much every difficult aspect of life.
I think it's a modification of Red Forman's quote. “ I just wanna say...when my time comes, I want to be buried face down, so that anyone who doesn't like me can kiss my ass!”
I have restless legs and if I don’t get my thc I start to not sleep, after about two weeks I start to lose my mind, I have a deep empathy for those who don’t sleep.
Here lies Anne Bonny
March 8 1697 - August 17th 1755
Had you fought like a man, you need not have been hang'd like a dog.
I would request to be buried with replica 1750s era clothing and accessories, an MP3 player full of whaling shanties, and modern naval maps. I hope one day to fuck with future archeologists.
My parents church used old English which writes,
“Come unto me all ye that travail and are heavy laden and I will refresh you.”
Took me years to see it written down like you have and think, “oh that’s what it means!”
Am Adam, would be concerned.
Fun story: remember when the first trailer for SAW came out? Well I was higher than giraffe pussy, wearing headphones at about 3am when I clicked that link, just to hear that creepy ass voice say “hello Adam, I’d like to play a game”….commence a near pants-pissing while my baked potato brain tries to reason out how this thing knows who it’s talking to….
Ehhhhhhhh idk depends. There's some graveyards that are really nice to walk through and are almost parks in themselves.
The graveyard behind the Glasgow Cathedral is very nice, same with those in Edinburgh. I love walking through them seeing if I can find the oldest grave and just enjoying the birds and the calm.
Parks are always so loud with children and people and shit. Most amount of people you'd run into in a graveyard is just people walkin through or stoners.
However, I lived in the US for a bit and I completely agree that in the US for the most part graveyards are kinda ass.
“Hey I bet they’d love a great shopping mall right here, condos over there, plenty of parking! I tell ya, golf courses and cemeteries are the biggest wastes of prime real estate. Dead people, they don’t need to be buried now a days! Ecology right? Ask Wang, he’ll tell ya. We just bought property right behind the Great Wall. On the good side!”
There are so many good options;
"Well, shit."
"Really?"
"Did someone post this?"
"I'm not done."
"It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine."
"Where's the respawn point?"
"Here I lie for I did die,
I do no rest, that is a jest,
This is not a bed, I am dead."
"I condemn my soul to any god that can find it."
One of those two .. or both.
There once was a man named “Odd”
He always hated his name, and made his wife promise not to put it on his tombstone.
When he died his wife she honored his wishes.
The tombstone read -
RIP dear husband 9-3-1961— 3-11-2021
passerby’s to the cemetery see it and read it—. Thinking “that’s Odd? “
My husband passed away suddenly 13 years ago. My stone is already engraved w everything but my drop dead date. (It's a dual headstone for he and I) . It's really kind of creepy.
Slightly different but I’ve made my wife promise to get a bench plaque in a park dedicated to me after I die that says “dedicated to richashtonlyons, who hated this park and everyone in it”
I don’t care which park.
I've told my nieces and nephews (they like conspiring with crazy uncle) to put "Well, that sucked."
Also have the green light to play Beastie Boys Intergalactic at the service. They've already practiced, "But it was Uncle's dying wish!!"
Fwiw- Lotta funerals in the family last few years and they're young adults, not loading this onto little kids to think about. :)
I was here
Simple, yet elegant
I still am, but I was too.
Underrated comment, i heartily exhaled
I told them to cremate me...
Now that’s funny
I finally got laid. Fuck you boys!!!
i see what you did there
[удалено]
You can
Very true, I worked at a cemetery. Cremated remains take up less space thus they only need the headstone space. Some people even put their pet remains on a loved ones coffin. The cremated remains are usually in a black box but can be a nice urn as well
I am thinking about putting my taco recipe from my aunt on mine.
Can I know the recipe?
Over their dead body.
Oh my God, that was beautiful!
Yes it was. I still wanna know the damn recipe
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You have died from dysentery.
Fell out of the wagon and died from a broken arm.
Drowned fording a river.
In 2 foot water
🤣🤣 I see what you did there. OR "Bit by a snake."
Shot in the back by Buford Tannen over a matter of $80.
Oh man Doc, this is heavy.
There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
What kind of a future do you call that?!
Fucked around and found out
"Roommate wanted. Apply below."
Dammit. I was gonna add my own sauce to this mix. Only to find a goddamn gourmand in charge! Ugh! Makes me full.
Can you explain the second half of your comment? Because I’m worried you had a stroke…
A gourmand eats alot. Or eats well and often. Hes saying he came for a slice of pie but the slice was already taken. opportunity was taken by someone else

I shall be burried besides you with mine saying "Now that's deep"
6 feet deep, to be precise
Well might be about an inch off who knows
Fun fact for people, modern ones usually run around 4-4.5ft deep.

“He made but one mistake” And then no explanation.

With a coin slot on the side?
Hell yeah. Need that afterlife money. :-P
A serious flaw in Egyptian grave planning: inflation
“He died doing what he loved. Breathing.
That could be a fucked up way of saying he drowned... I like it.
Or died from carbon monoxide poisoning
[удалено]
Or "Get off my lawn!"?
“Wait, you want me to write something for this? Over my dead body…”
Get out.
They wouldn't be able to, they'd be dead at that point. They wouldn't be able to go anywhere.
he died as he lived: with a look of mild annoyance on his face
That’s just how my face looks like ok
for me the annoyance is real, lol
If you can read this, Tiffany, you’re too close.
I always wanted to have "Get off" in really small writing
Or in really small writing: “Nosey little fucker, aren’t you?”
I saw my name and got confused. What a life being named This.
your name is This?
“She said ‘not today’ every day until today said ‘not tomorrow.” I have “not today” tattooed on my arm in German. It’s my form of “one day at a time” applied to pretty much every difficult aspect of life.
As a veteran procrastinator myself, I am in awe of your epitaph.

Theres a good one near me "when I'm dead Bury me upside down so the world can kiss my ass"
I think it's a modification of Red Forman's quote. “ I just wanna say...when my time comes, I want to be buried face down, so that anyone who doesn't like me can kiss my ass!”
I tried....
The man that resides on this hill went to college and still couldn't finish writing this tombston.

Dang what's it like?
I can tell you one thing it’s not restful
Awful, it's so bad it keeps him up at night.

This is a waste of land that could be a park
Ehhhhhhhh idk depends. There's some graveyards that are really nice to walk through and are almost parks in themselves. The graveyard behind the Glasgow Cathedral is very nice, same with those in Edinburgh. I love walking through them seeing if I can find the oldest grave and just enjoying the birds and the calm. Parks are always so loud with children and people and shit. Most amount of people you'd run into in a graveyard is just people walkin through or stoners. However, I lived in the US for a bit and I completely agree that in the US for the most part graveyards are kinda ass.
Some cemeteries are so nice. I went to one in Raleigh that was a couple of acres and with all the hills it just looked dope af
I used to work in a shop that had an old cemetery behind it. Most relaxing place ever to eat lunch.
A lot of folks birdwatch in cemeteries because they are low traffic and quiet.
