Tombstones funny epitaphs

Tombstones funny epitaphs
Oddly enough, bome tombstones are far from eternal sadness. They contain funny gravestone epitaphs, and I believe they are real, from people with a great sense of humor. For example, 22-year-old Tomas Jimoteo Chinchilla, who left this world too early for his age. Meanwhile, all he gained – bad reputation which remains visible on his grave stone. “Rest in peace. Now you are in Lord’s arms. Lord, watch your wallet…”

Surfing the net I have found some more funny epitaphs from real tombstones:

Here lies
Ezekial Aikle
Age 102
The Good Die Young.
(East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia)

Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.
(Thurmont cemetery, Maryland)

Here lies Ann Mann,
Who lived an old maid
But died an old Mann.
Dec. 8, 1767

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

Here lies the body
of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.
(Memory of an accident in a Uniontown, Pennsylvania cemetery)

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

Sacred to the memory of
my husband John Barnes

Of yours.

In Memory of Beza Wood

The outer wood
Is very good:
We cannot praise
The other.
(To Mr. Wood, Winslow cemetery, Maine)

To Harry Edsel Smith of Albany
Born 1903 – Died 1942
