Death isn't funny. Not at all. But Halloween is fast-approaching and we're all feeling a bit ghoulish, aren't we? So, to quote the frozen pizza commercials, "what do you want on your tombstone?" (Or what do you fear?)

Here Lies @WYATTs

“A pretty nice person over the years, as long as you adjusted for inflation…”

Here Lies @WYATTs

“Survived by two rabbits and a dog.”

Here Lies @WYATTs

“Her handwritten will requested cremation but young folks don’t read cursive anymore”

Said she finally figured out the God thing but forgot it the next day. Never did have a very good memory…

The Town Hypochondriac

A funny tombstone

Okay, I’m not a hypochondriac, but I can’t think of anything as of yet. I DO know that I want something that will make everyone laugh. Or some literary quote. Perhaps a combination?

There’s plenty of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

My Funeral Song

One song, and only one song, will be sung at my funeral: “Night Moves” by Bob Seeger.

Why do famous people always get to have funny tombstones? I’m all for the humorous tombstone. I would definitely want to make people laugh instead of making them cry at my funeral.

With this product from Vidstone, my tombstone will play a continuous loop of ABBA videos and my all-time favorite movie, Army of Darkness. To eternity!

Cupcake Grave

Do they make gravestones shaped like cupcakes?? I couldn’t find one, but I’m sure it can be done. If not, you can just write “Please leave cupcakes” That’s all.
