    Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me....

    It's inevitable folks and will probably comes around faster than we think. What would you like written on your gravestone? What do you want your epitaph to be?

    This site will help you visualise what it might look like;

    Lies here dead.

    Some musical notes that when played open a secret passage to my burial treasures (Mainly old printer cables and floppy disks).

    Okay but that's not going to make much sense out of context.

    I don't want a gravestone. What good will it do me? I don't want people crying over it, or making a viral video of themselves pissing on it (far more likely). It's just another expense for whoever is left after me. I don't want a funeral, I don't want a coffin, and my organs can't be donated, so I just want to be put in the ground somewhere or used in a forensic "body farm" type thing.

    William is a common name in my family and always thought that we could copy your man will.i.am and have a grand gravestone with just "will.i.was".

    He was behind the barrier on the grassy knoll and was a damn good shot . ( none of it true but sure the family left behind could make a fortune out of the conspiracy books / films etc .

    I’m too young though . I’ll have to come up with a more modern “ shocker “

    "I used to say Mass for Osama Bin Laden " . I might get away with that one .
