This is something I've been morbidly intrested in for a while now. Lets face it, we're all going to die eventually, so what would you like the last statement people will remember you by to be? It can be anything, I won't judge.
What's mine-I've picked out a classic

.

And come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the wolftime.

**Emperors Faithful**

I wouldn't have it on my grave but:

Posterity will ne'er survey
A nobler grave than this;
Here lies the bones of Castlereagh:
Stop, traveller, and piss.

**warpcrafter**

"He died as he lived, in his own time and in his own way."

**Wrexasaur**

"He lived his life, and all he got was this stupid tombstone."

Note:
It would be in italics on my tombstone.

**J.Black**

"Finally, i quit smoking"

Or in GWAR's case: "I'm still right"

**JEB_Stuart**

"Your Standing on My Face"

**BishopGore**

"See you at the Zombpocalypse"

**Cheese Elemental**

"I'll be back."

**Anshal**

BLOOD FOR THE BLOD or failing that this would be on my tombstone:
Listen closely Brothers, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our chapter itself is dying, even as I am now dying. Then my children, I shall list'n for your call from whatever realms of death hold me, and come I shall no-matter what laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Wolftime.

**Leigen_Zero**

I would have one of these two:

'He went into the light, but unfortunately it was attached to a train...'

or

''He left this world the way he came into it: kicking, screaming and covered in blood and mucus'

**Commander Endova**

Tombstone nothing. If my fate actually allows me a proper funeral, I want it viking style. Send me out on a flaming raft. Bonus point if it explodes when it gets far enough offshore.

**Frazzled**

Either
He should have ducked

or

Oh wow, she wasn't kidding about "quit it" was she?

**chaplaingrabthar**

"Good fething riddance."

**Ketara**

I told you I was ill!

Spike Milligan no? A classic.....

I plan on being cremated or buried at sea.

**SagesStone**

"I'm currently out at lunch leave all work to be translated on my desk"

But I really have no idea, too far away and I guess whoever pays for it really gets the last say

The easiest solution to having to think of one is not to die

My wife and I are going for viking flame ships too.

So there might just be a little monument near the beach saying soemthing like "From this point on [date], [name] began their final journey into the unknown"

And then I was thinking that if one of us goes before the other, the last one could have something like "On [date], [name of last remaining] joined [name], to journey together forever".

Or some such.

**Tyyr**

"I told you it could get worse."

**Guitardian**

I have always thought something along these lines would be appropriately cool, funny, and 'introspective' to a person who reads it:

"Here lies James.... game over... NEW HIGH SCORE! 183745654829650602639215, please enter your initials..."

barring that, I think something one of my relatives with a bit of sense of humor could be convinced to sumbit...
Here lies James, his last words were:
"Oh man! Are you serious?! I was just getting warmed up!"

I think "He loved cats" would be nice too.

**Golden Eyed Scout**

"So it was the green wire afterall."

"Didn't realize it was loaded."

"Oh man. You were right Joey! I don't see anything!"

Or something to that effect.

I plan on having all my organs donated, but I want my head kept around. I want it to be mounted on a manaquein body, standing upright, so that people at my funeral can either

A) Punch me in the face.
B) Give me one last goodbye.

Then, the head is removed, and someone has to punt it into a furnace to get cremated. If it misses, the service starts all over again till someone gets it right.

Sounds pretty awesome, right?

**mrwhoop**

Wow, you guys have no idea how expensive headstones are...
They're worse than text messages (pay by the letter) so if I did have one it'd have to be short

"See ya soon"

Perhaps I'd go with.

"Hey!...I think I see Jimmi Hendrix"

**rockabill-gr**

well i guess something like: no you @#$%^ i will go towards the light !!!!
or : and now i can play 40k all day long yeahh!!!!!

**oggers**

"Don't cry for me, Argentina"?

**Little lord Fauntleroy**

Thinking about it, these probably fit me better than what I origionally said I wanted:
"I have no-one to blame but myself for this unfortunate prediciment."
"If I'd had one last chance....what the hell, I'd just have wasted it."
"Well this sucks"
"In hindsight maybe it wasn't such a good idea."

**Emperors Faithful**

I like the "I finnally quit smoking" one.

-"...First!"
-"Last time I ever play Russian Roullete with a Micro-Uzi..."

**FM Ninja 048**

" Well this Sucks"
or
"Damn I thought I COULD live forever"

**Lord Demon**

I dont want a text on my tombstone. I want a speaker with this playing every hour.

Who turned of the lights?

Get me outta here!

I'm not dead i was sleeping!

Hello?? helloooo? Can someone order me a pizza?
