Humorous Gravestone Epitaphs

Here lies
Ezekial Aikle
Age 102
The Good
Die Young.


Anna Wallace
The children of Israel wanted bread
And the Lord sent them manna,
Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife,
And the Devil sent him Anna.

Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me
For not rising.


Here lies the body
of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.

Here lays Butch,
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger,
But slow on the draw.


Sir John Strange
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange.

"I told you I was sick!"


In Memory of Beza Wood
Departed this life
Nov. 2, 1837
Aged 45 yrs.
Here lies one Wood
Enclosed in wood
One Wood
Within another.
The outer wood
Is very good:
We cannot praise
The other.

Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.


Here lies the body
Of Margaret Bent
She kicked up her heels
And away she went.

At least I know where he's sleeping tonight!

I died,
They cried,
I lied,
There was no money.

Here lies Boghead amang the dead
In hopes to get salvation;
But if such as he in Heav'n may be,
Then welcome, hail! damnation.

Robert Burns...

Wherever you are, wherever you be,
Be sure to let your wind go free,
For keeping mine was the death of me.

Spinster postmistress...... "Returned Unopened".

Solomon Peas.
Peas is not here,
Only the pod.
Peas shelled out,
Went home to God

I think it is Spike Milligan who either has or wrote about having

"Humourous Epitaphs?, Over my Dead Body!!"

Here lies the body
Of Margaret Bent
She kicked up her heels
And away she went.

Fell asleep at 81
Sitting on the loo
One big curry too many
Oh it is so true
