Hmmm.. Seems like with all the geeks here we could get rid of these useless inscriptions and have saved video. Wouldn't it be cool if your decendants could walk up to your grave or vault, press a button and see what you looked/sounded like and you could spred the wisdom you gained in your life. Maybe I'll create the first high tech cemetary with a server to store the info/video and supply feeds to the individual tombstones or something like that. Maybe I should have said nothing. Get away from this thread. It is my idea you fscking vultures. Well probably not. Everything else I have thought of has already been done.

Edit: I knew it.
 
For my father I choose, "He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again."

I will let others choose what they think it should read, after all, it's no concern of mine.

Yes.

You all know Stevensons, don't you? From his own poem Requiem:

UNDER the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie:
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you 'grave for me: 5
Here he lies where he long'd to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.


Only the last three lines are on the stone, as I recall.
 
djheater, exactly what I was going to post.

Robert Louis Stevenson's Requiem:

Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

I died because of my lack of ability to summarize and my desire to go into small details. The first such incident occurred in July of 1968....
