Title: What will be on your tombstone?
Post by: Otto on 02 Dec 2010, 22:53
I've already decided. Mine will have a beer tap built into it, and the headstone will say "Have one on me".

Hey, it's better than pepperoni and sausage.

I plan on being scattered off a particular spit into the ocean that's meaningful to me.  No stone, axcept the ones that make up the spit. 

My wife, on the other hand, wants the classic;

"I told  you I was sick!!"

Seriously, we've written it into her will. 

Of course, now she'll die in an accident or of old age...

I want a green burial. Wrapped in a linen shroud, dumped into a hole in the ground not walled with concrete, and with a tree planted to mark the grave. My body will degrade into the soil, the tree with absorb the nutrients my rotting corpse provides, and so I will become immortal via tree!

Post by: Tergon on 03 Dec 2010, 04:33
Well, that's one thing I might want on my tombstone for my remains.  But I don't plan to be buried in one piece.  Ideally this will be because I died in an awesome explosion, possibly defeating a supervillian in the process.  Or maybe a superhero if my life goes that way.

But assuming that I'm more or less in one piece when I die, I'm getting harvested before they plant what's left.  Gonna share out my bits, I am.

Hmm...

Oh god, tombstones in the future are going to be trolling the mourners, aren't they?

Anyway, I've always thought this Edgar Allan Poe poem would be lovely to have on a tombstone:
"I heed not that my earthly lot
Hath little of earth in it,
That years of love have been forgot
In the hatred of a minute.
I mourn not that the desolate
Are happier, sweet, than I
But that you sorrow for my fate
Who am a passer-by."

That's from memory so it might not be exactly right...and it's a little long, but eh.

You'd certainly need to have someone with some deciding power over the ceremony on your side, just paying someone wouldn't work because you wouldn't be there to make it happen, and having a random friend do it would make it difficult to pull off, so maybe have your significant other make these arrangements for you, assuming you die first.

 I have no idea...

 But this reminds me of the discussion we had in my intro to Anthro class. We had a section on death and what cultures do. Everything from using human bones to build vast buildings and structures (seriously, one chandelier was made entirely of bones, mostly femurs. It was both impressive and creepy at the same time!)

 To amusing sayings on tombstones (the idea of humor in death was alien to most of the students.) One that I recall was "Well, I guess I finally made an ash of myself..."

 And in that venue. Here's a funny gamer one!

I actually plan on being cremated and shot off into space for one last adventure.

But I suppose the Missus could etch the words 'What a World!' on the side of the urn.

I want a green burial. Wrapped in a linen shroud, dumped into a hole in the ground not walled with concrete, and with a tree planted to mark the grave. My body will degrade into the soil, the tree with absorb the nutrients my rotting corpse provides, and so I will become immortal via tree!

Psh.

I will have my corpse dumped unceremoneously into the Alaskan wilderness to be eaten by wolves.

If you live somewhere unpolluted and eat only organic foods, go ahead, but I wouldn't wish the consumption of a modern human on any animal. We're pretty darn toxic.

After playing Portal I think I'm going to make my inscription the following:
"She followed her Cube into the incinerator, and thus, was burnt unceremoniously by GLaDOS."
Or something like that.
"THE CAKE IS A LIE, THE CUBE IS FOREVER, AND GLaDOS KILLED US ALL" maybe? Dunno.
