Default What would your epitaph say....

I know it's a bit depressing but I attended a funeral a couple of weeks ago and I was thinking afterwards what I should have on my epitaph...my husband suggested 'She always nagged a lot!'

In all seriousness I think mine would read 'She spent too much time worrying.'

Oh and I also know what song I would have at my funeral - 'Time to say Goodbye' - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=d_0FsKiS8rg - one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard (even though I find Sarah Brightman ever so slightly irritating).

So over to you guys - what would your epitaph say...............

I reckon mine would say "F***, what a ride!" It can be taken either way, I'm happy!

Mine would say "He fell in with a bad crowd" (at least it would if my mother wrote it )

I do have one in mind, but it's too filthy to post

As for your choice of song, it's a killer, they played it at my uncle's funeral and everyone just fell to bits (he died relatively young).

Stuffing up was part of the fun
Now my death has finally come
Gather round, look down on me
If you can smile my work is done
