Tombstone Designs

Post by Haunt Master » Tue May 20, 2008 12:11 am

I'm looking for funny sayings to put on tombstones. A friend of mine will turn 52 in July and we are making a Cemetery in her honor and all the tombstones will have her name on them, but each will have different saying, you know? I already have "May she rest in pieces" and also, "I told you I was too sick". Any other suggestions would be great. ;)

Thanks for you help! 8)

"Yes, that gun was loaded"
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Is this for tombstone design? I don't think it's good title to put on it.

I think it's funny because it could be the lead-up to so many things tha could go wrong.

A friend of mine who told me about the tombstone idea and it makes me laugh!


Tombstone design reads:


Stand close and it's scarier than you think!

Stepped on the gas instead of the brake.
Halloween wraps fear in innocence,
As though it were a slightly sour sweet.
Let terror, then, be turned into a treat...

We made a small one a few years ago that simply said "Baby" on it with a small rattle . . . most people for the party thought that one was pretty bad. We had some other funny ones, I will have to look into it.

I saw a gravestone that really does just say BABY.

Pretty sad. :(

I guess the real thing is kind of sad . . . ours was a bit more humourous because it was fake and a bit wrong. :?

I kinow wat you mean.

I dressed up as a dead Mouse-kateer one halloween. I was Cubby from the original cast with a realistic bullit hole between my eyes and most people at work just didn't get it.

THe makeup was very good.
One of the sales people came in my office and actually turned white and gagged.
I gues it was a little too good. :)

Hey don't feel bad about making that stone. It was only a fake Halloween stone. :D
