I watched a program on television sometime ago and they talked about people whose headstone read like a mini novel!

Recently I saw on the news where some headstones of the future will be a video or ‘live’ picture. Wasn’t there a movie like that starring Robin Williams? And if I remember right in the movie Serenity, the people who died had something like that on their headstones. I thought that was just so cool!

What would you want your headstone to say about you other than the required, “good father, or good son, or mother, wife, etc.? Have you ever thought about it really? I know it’s a morbid thought. But what would others say about you?

I guess if that was possible, there would be headstones with “He was a great lover” or “She was one great cook” or “He was a great teacher” on it! Perhaps with even more information than some of us want to know! You know how some people are, big egos!

I don’t know what I would like mine to say. I’ve thought about it but haven’t come up with anything yet. But it would be nice if it was catchy and quite fitting!

I want to be an interesting page in a geneology scrapbook in the home of my great-great-great-you get the picture-grandchild. That's all. I don't want any other physical remains like a headstone. Although I don't know what I'd want the page to say about me. Maybe just that I did the best I could and that overall it was pretty good.

These are great topics foreverserentity! Thanks for the opportunity for introspection this morning.

Ya know zeen3 I like that idea a lot! Can you imagine when we are gone from this physical world, our great grand child would be able to have one of those technological thingys (whatever they would be call by then!) and be able to see us and hear our voice, perhaps giving out some great advice to live by! I think that would be fantastic! And yes, the geneology would live on!

I don't actually believe I'll ever have a headstone. I feel we are coming very near to the end-time, and that I will not die naturally like those before me, but will transfigure in an instant.

But if I do pass on prior to the end, I dont even want a headstone. Simply let the people who knew me remember me in their own ways, and when they pass on, let me fade away in time and space. After all, I'm just a single person, and not really all that much of one at that. I'd rather not be remembered if I had my choice.

SImple and nice!


"I told you I was sick!"

That would be a sad thing don't you think? Regardless fo whatever your life was like, to at least have one person remember you, wouldn't that be nice?

"I see Paris, I see France,
Unfortunately for me,
I'm stuck under plants."



I don't know what I'd really want...something with a bit of humor to it. Cemetaries are just so depressing so I'd like to spice it up...

I don't want to be buried, but if I had no choice I'd want something excessively pretentious in Latin, just so people will walk past and go, "I bet that guy was a self-indulgent prick."

I don't want to be buried, I want to be cremated. But I suppose, hypothetically, if I were to have a tombstone, I would like it to say 'In death, as in life, all he wants is to hear the music.'
