Tombstones:
-Tombstone of a dentist: This is the last hole he filled
-Tombstone of a civil servant: here he continues to rest
-Here lies Lotta Dust
-In a London , England cemetery:
Here lies Ann Mann, Who lived an old maid but died an old Mann
– In a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery:
Here lies Johnny Yeast… Pardon me for not rising.
– In a Uniontown, Pennsylvania , cemetery:
Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake.
Stepped on the gas instead of the brake
-A lawyer’s epitaph in England :
Sir John Strange.
Here lies an honest lawyer,
and that is Strange
-Anna Hopewell’s grave in Enosburg Falls , Vermont :
Here lies the body of our Anna,
Done to death by a banana.
It wasn’t the fruit that laid her low,
But the skin of the thing that made her go.
-On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket , Massachusetts :
Under the sod and under the trees,
Lies the body of Jonathan Pease.
He is not here, there’s only the pod.
Pease shelled out and went to G’d.
-In a cemetery in England :
Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, so shall you be.
Remember this and follow me.
To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone:
To follow you I’ll not consent .
Until I know which way you went.
– Here lies my wife
She now has peace,
And so do I.
Tears can’t bring her back,
That’s why I cry.
