what do you want written on your tombstone [View all]

or your grave marker, memorial plaque, monument, urn, vault, or crypt? even if you want to be cremated & have your ashes scattered--if there was some type of memorial for you somewhere what would/should it say?

would you decide or leave it up to whoever is left to figure it out?
