I've joked for years now that it should say "Nice guy. Not too bright." Ultimately, though, I suspect it'll say whatever culturally competent comforting thing the people who I leave behind decide it should say. My mother's grave simply has our surname on one side and then her full married name & the dates that describe the envelope of her existence on the other. When my father goes, he plans to follow suit.
I suppose it's possible, given that I have no descendants (and don't plan to have any), I may end up also interred there, at which point I'd imagine my name and dates would join theirs, which isn't the worst thing. It's a lovely cemetery on the shore of a pretty little lake, and I've spent plenty of time there while alive.

Thanks for sharing. That sounds like a peaceful place to visit and a beautiful final resting spot.
Lol, the one about he was a fool made me laugh!!! This is great, the picture with the lights looks really neat!
