Phrases not to put on a tombstone

[iRONic]

There is lots of them in old cemeteries:

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

Isn't that one from the opening scene of 'Tombstone'?'

 

[zinfamous]

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"

I lol at this

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.

Aw man! I thought you had been rehabilitated and had stopped with the craziness. What happened?!?!
