Ever walk through a cemetery and see "gone but not forgotten" on a tombstone? The person died something like 100 years ago, never did anything to leave a mark in the history books.So yea, that person is gone and forgotten.

Or have something like "beloved husband" on the tombstone, and the guy was a wife beating drunk.

Or something like "beloved mother", and she had a bunch of abortions.

I know a few people that after they died the world is a much better place, but the family had some kind of nice saying put on the tombstone.

I can think of some phrases to put on a tombstone:

"Anti-Vaccine Nutter"
"Scared of Credit Cards"
"Scourge of ATOT, but God Damn could he BBQ"

there's this tombstone on a small island in the fjord where my parents live, it belongs to a tax collector from the 18th century or something, it says:

"we must not in the sorrow from his passing forget the joy of his dissappearance", I literally fell over laughing when i read it. It loses a little in translation but you get the gist of it.

edit: I had to look up the text to see if I got right, I did, but I also found this little treasure:

"here lies Maren Larsdatter, she died at a very inconvenient time in the middle of harvest"

Maybe you could pass a law making it mandatory that everyone in Texas would have to get your approval for whatever they put on their tombstone?

There is lots of them in old cemeteries:

Here lies Lester Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No Les No More.

Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana
It wasn't the fruit that laid her low
But the skin of the thing that made her go.

Longest Live Burial World Record Attempt
For a good time, dig

Some come to this graveyard

To sit and think,

But I've come here to

Rot and stink

Died at the age of 102 at the hands of a justifiably outraged husband
