Your Grave

I've thought about this on and off but have never really been able to settle on anything.

What I wanted to ask others is, what would you want on your head stone? What would you want people to read about you when they happen to come across your grave? When I think of something I'll be sure to post it.

I don't want a grave

Posted

This is obviously something I've been thinking about about, since I am in the process of actually writing what I am going to put on my girlfriend's(who passed away a few months ago) headstone. I suspect I won't have a headstone, preferring the scattered ashes idea.

Posted

No headstone for me. I want to be creamated, against Wayne's wishes.

Posted

cremated at sea.

or buried in armour in a dismantled chariot. just to fuck with future archeologists.

as far as headstone.... why bother. no ones gonna see mine.

Posted

This is something I really REALLY don't want to think about, so I won't :tongue:

B~

I'm with other thoughts already mentioned here. Aside from the financial consideration, I'd prefer cremation.

I want a cheesy goth song from L'Ame Immortelle on my gravestone. yeah baby!

(Actually I'm kidding about the cheesy part. I actually adore this song and it does ring true as far as how I feel about memorials).

Epitaph

by L'Ame Immortelle

Too many souls just fade away

And leave nothing behind

Too many live just for the day

And let their time pass by

Too many graves stay nameless

In the garden of the dead

Too many pictures frameless

Blurred lost memories

Do not search this place for me

Search for me deep in your heart

If I haven't built my memorial there

My life has been in vain

So I must not fear the time

When the reaper shows its face

My memorial will shine

Brighter than the sun

Let come the night, the final day

To retreat forever

My soul will sweep away

And will not be forgotten

Do not search this place for me

Search for me deep in your heart

If I haven't built my memorial there

My life has been in vain

I want a pretty urn.

Posted

I want a statue of death.. just like the one in the graveyard in Frankenstien. Black Marble. I want it to say...

"He did it all...

Father, Son, Husband, Man"

omg!! that would be great! hw & i should match up our "artifacts" so as to really confuse them! two identical "civilizations" on two continents!? whaddya suppose they'd think about that!? :laughing

Mine's going to say : I'm Watching You

Posted

not sure. when i think about these things, i always strongly consider cremation.

but if i did have one...hmmm...

nah, id have to go all out and steal the viking longboat idea! too cool! :woot:

lol

i don't want to be buried i want to be cremated and scattered.

i don't think anyone should keep my ashes on their mantle or anything like that.

Posted

"the dead see everything...

including bizzare masterbation rituals

yes i am talking to you"

would be amusing

a friend (the dead squirrel in a tennis serving machine guy) wants a raised fist as a headstone with "died in the name of heavy metal" or sommit

Posted

The plaque on my urn might say:

"Fuck her and I'll haunt you"

Posted

When I was younger and struggling with the thought of writing a novel, I thought up this epitaph:

"Here lies _______,

a frustrated writer

whose most-read work

is this gravestone."

But my husband and I both now want to be cremated and our ashes dumped into Lake Michigan. We're not having kids, the youngest in our families, and more than likely not going to leave any family behind us. So why bother with a burial plot nobody will seek out?

On another note, I just wanted to share the fact that I already have a buriel plot. My mom got a "family deal" (buy 3, get a discount--something like that) when my dad died years ago. Plots are EXPENSIVE, and mausoleums are even worse. So, everyone in my immediate family has their own buriel plot in case something happens... Am I goth or what ? :tongue: :blushing

Posted

you are Too Goth! :ohmy:

:laughing

Posted

I'm getting cremated in a viking ceremony. Of course its going to cost a lot just to build a boat to burn.

Posted

Well I toyed with a few actually. Some from a Sierra game Arcanum where in the graveyard you can click on the headstones and read them.

"Here lies an Atheist,

All dressed up and no place to go"

or I liked (in really small print) "If you can read this you're standing on my head" off the afore mentioned site.

One of these days I'll compile a list of the best stuff.

Posted

I just want mine to truthfully say "She Was Loved".

....And you all better show up at my fecking funeral and CRY DAMNIT! I'll be watching.

Posted

Mine could say......" as you stand here silently reading this do me a favor ~ get the fuck off my grave".......or something to that effect. :laughing
