Nothing morbid here, just a bit of creative fun in an arena somewhat clouded by fear and anxiety.
What would you like yours to be? Brutally honest? Poetic? Funny? Jot it down and share, with no engraving necessary.

Justin B...

Slid in sideways with his head on fire, a drink in one hand and a smoke in the other.

Off to lay rubber on the streets of gold.

No epitaph for me. I wish for my ashes to be flushed down the toilet at the 100 Club on Oxford Street. I guess people could write amusing graffiti on the cubicle walls, though.

I actually died in Febuary 2005. The Grim Reaper is just too scared to come collect.

Oh, I know that one: "Dead, but yet not aware of it"? lol

there's a saying:
"He/she look like he/she escaped from the gravedigger shovel"
(when one is looking gray and not-so-much-lively)

So, IF I had to write my epitaph NOW, it'll be ether humorous like:

Fortunately, she escaped from the gravedigger shovel

or, it'll be this:

Ovde počiva mrtav
..koji je hteo da živi
pretvoren u žabu, bože prosti
pretvoren u drvo zeleno
..
Rodio se krajem jeseni, umro početkom zime
mezimče među mrtvima
ne pamte ga ni prijatelji, ni neprijatelji
njegov plač ne može da se prepričava
njegova se humka ne preskače i ne obalazi
u malom paklu zapaljenih sveća
na njegovom grobu je mrak


(translation):
Here lies dead
.. who wanted to live
turned into a frog, God forgive
converted into a green tree
..
Born in late autumn, in early winter - died.
Latest baby among the dead,
not remember neither by friends nor enemies.
His cries could not be recounted
His mound is not skipped and not passed by.
In the hell of the small lighted candles
the darkness covers the grave

:rain:

..all depending of the day you ask me to do it..
