Life as I Know It; Family; Lifestyle; and Healthy Living!
Published on December 2, 2006 By foreverserenity In Misc

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 have no idea what mine would say - unless I had it read "My other gravestone is wittier."

My ex-wife suffers (so far as I know she still suffers) from horrendously cold feet through poor circulation. In Britain there are things called 'hotwater bottles' (I have no idea what they're called here) - oblong rubbery bladders to be filled with hot water and taken to bed at night, or more usually placed in the bed some time before retiring, to warm the sheets. For almost every night of the twelve winters we were married I made her a hotwater bottle. Hers had a case, a fluffy bunnyhead and ears at the top and floppy bunnyfeet at the bottom.

The phrase she invariably used to get me to go make her one became a family in-joke. Being a humorous woman she once said she would have it carved on her headstone: "My feet are cold. Can I have a hotwater bottle?"

Well, like many who have already replied, I don't want to be buried.

What I would like...(yes, 'like,' I doubt much fuss would be made over the funeral stuff. They'd all be like to just say "eh, lets just toss him in a shoe box," but I digress.)

...would be to be cremeated. And...either...

1) Sent to space, as one of my dreams when I was younger was to head into astronomy, astrophysics, or be an astronaut. I soon realized that i would never be able to do that. Still, the stars, planets, quasars, etc... are a big thing for me.

2) Spread either: In the ocean, in London (any spot really), or Egypt.


3) Be used as a prop in a movie. (What...? You can't have too many urns. )

~OR~

4) Spread into the ocean.

As for what would be on my head stone...


"Born. Lived. Died."

"There have been few men in history who have done great things. Here lies one who wasn't one of them, but at least he tried his best, and lived a decent life."

"Who's grave is this anyway?"

"Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last, final awakening.~Unknown"

"Now I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark." --Thomas Hobbes

"Ich bin eine berliner auch." (I am a berliner too, not quite correct grammatically - referencing Kennedy's gaff)

"Here lies a son, father, friend, brother, man."

"Guess the flavor."

"Worm free."

"He died, D'oh!"

"'Now I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark.' --Thomas Hobbes"

"He wants his mojo back"

"This dude owes me money"

"I am human"

"And then....?"

"Ich bin tot!" (I am dead!)

"Das ende." (The end)

"Finally, undesturbed rest."

"I knew I shouldn't have done that."

"He never saw it coming..."

“Which way is it to Japan again?”

“Haha, very funny guys. Now let me out.”

“And they said it wouldn’t hurt me.”

"You can't see me, neener neener neener."

"Lets play hide and seek, i'll hide first."

(cont...)

"A train left chicago at 40 mph, while a train left los angeles at 50 mph......"

"They said harmless fun!"

"Sir, the peasants are revolting!"

"In the end, it was the ravenous gnomes that got him."

"This is what happens to you if you poke a troll while invisible."

"I didn't realize what they meant by 'dead end job.'"

"Please leave a message after the silence...."

"Betcha I can last longer than David Blaine."
