    I think he wanted to but not sure if he did. It would have been excellent! I know the church can stop this sort of thing.

    I think I'll have

    Yeah, but it's written in Gaelic I think. Quite a few people have used "I told you I was sick" or something like that.

    The writer Dorothy Parker picked "Excuse my dust" which fits with her kind of humor.

    I see it each time we go home to Milw to visit- it is a little weird to stand there next to your resting place.
    This especially so since i lost my sister to cancer a few years ago. Feel much more mortal.
    I guess if I would say right now what I would want there on my drawer it would be
    "See you on the other side."
    I like that. Succinct and positive. :thumbup:

    You know, your signature would make a pretty good epitaph for some people, Clint. ;)

    i'm trying to figure out a way to go without costing anyone a dime. Even cremation costs quite a bit (money is energy) and they use a lot of gas.

    I guess when it comes to that time I'll find a bonfire somewhere that is burning extremely hot and jump in.

    i really haven't looked into it much, but it's got to cost a lot less than burial and all that encompasses. and i certainly hope either thru life insurance and/or personal savings, my passing won't cost anyone anything...except of course a devastated heart at losing me here...;)

    I love Spike Milligan's gravestone.

    It reads: 'I told you I was ill'. :lol:
