What Would You Want Your Tombstone to Read?

I was looking at famous people's epitaphs and there were some pretty cool ones.

"Here lies a man for whom the world was not enough" - Alexander the Great

"I am prepared to meet my maker, whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter." - Winston Churchill
 
im not sure i would want to be buried with a tombstone all normal like. ill need to think about it.

but if i was it would need to be something either funny or badass, to prevent visitors being sad when they come.

maybe:

"live free or die"

"Brush your shoulder off"

 
Yea me to.

Becuase I'm going to have a fucking castle built.

It's going to have a huge wall and aligators crawling around the marshlands. In the basememnt guarding my tomb they'll be a wolf (kind of the arctic), lion (king of the savanah), and a tiger (king of the jungle).
 
Because I don't want to beg for remembrance. If people want some physical object to remember me by fine there's nothing wrong with them wanting that, but yeah don't spend all that money, use all that energy for something that no one will care about in a likely pretty short time. I also would rather be left out in the middle of the woods to rot and be eaten by animals and trees, so I guess this makes me a dirty hippie... but having my energy directly being turned into energy and used by living creatures is the most beautiful after-lifeesque thing I believe in.
 
i will leave some gps coordinates to a hidden box, that box will lead to another box and it will never end.
 
same i think,

untiil some kid comes and finds my skull and is traumatized
 
I was watching a TED talk about this lady that has made suits made of fungal spores to speed up our decomposition. They also help because due to some of the chemicals we ingest nowadays, our decomposition is somewhat toxic and they help to filter out the toxins that may be left behind. Or something along those lines, 'twas a while ago.
 
that's sweet mushrooms are badass. I've heard of having a tree planted in a mix of ashes that it uses to grow, that seems like a nice spot to remember someone, under a tree made from some of them
 
"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
