    I visit Finnish cemeteries often and I can confirm what you say. I'm not weird! I just know a lot of dead people! And I like to look for the oldest and youngest deaths, that's it I swear!

    And, yeah, they might have the code for the verse written out there, but I don't think I've ever seen longer bit of text on a gravestone that was set in the modern times. Much more common during the Russian rule, I'd say.

    I think that guy died in the mid 1800s, but its funny little things like that that need to be remembered. I hope mine has the same level of panache (if that's even the right term here). Though, I'm not quite sure ashes get a headstone...

    My friends have pretty much all agreed to write, "He was an honest man" in the event of my demise. It isn't so much my preference as what I feel would be the most honest tombstone line (even my enemies agree I'm no liar). As for a preference, I've always been fond of,

    Because then it would always be sad.

    Of course, I'm going to be cremated and my urn is going to be broken by my great grandchildren, but one can't have everything.

Maybe sometimes there's a biblical verse or two.

    Now, back to the actual question...

    "There were too many good choices to pick from, so I need to do this more than once to try them all."

    "And so as you read these words
    telling you now of my state
    I tell you to enjoy life
    I wish I could, but it's too late"

    "Ottakaa te ilo irti elämästä
    ja täyttäkää se ikävyyden lovi
    Myöhäistä on silloin kun tuonen tuvil' tullaan
    ja hiljainen on mullan musta povi"

    "It's the fate of all things under the sky,
    to grow old and wither and die."

    "Taking it up with the management."

    "It's hot down here."

    "All the years in vain I fought
    All my deeds have gone to naught
    Unsung is this tale of mine,
    Mislaid till the end of time"

    "Hidden deep under the vale of the Moon
    Entombed beneath white flowers of Death"

    "The part of man
    is to take the sombre path
    Stumble in the dark,
    stray amidst the dust and ash
    Like forgotten ghosts
    drifting in the driving wind
    Dashing towards the Void
    whirling blindly through the night"

    Yes, visiting my grave would be depressing. As it bloody well should be.

    "Yup, I'm still dead. Thanks for checking up on me though."

    "If I knew you in life, thanks for remembering me. If I hated you in life, thanks for not defiling my grave. If I didn't know you in life, thanks for reading my headstone."

    "Get off my lawn!"

    Because:

    "Noone will read this, anyway."

    But:

    "My other grave is a pyramid!"

    Although my dream is to be interred with a lot of cannabis seed and thus provide for the good people of this earth even in death, so maybe something like "Got head. Get stoned!" could work. Failing that, I'll forego burial altogether, put up "Back in five!" and have my body mummified, then mailed to my least favorite relatives for safe-keeping (enforced by not letting them have any of my money without involving the corpse in their daily life like some sort of horribly disturbing pet rock substitute for years on end). There's nothing you still have to care about when dead, far as I know.

    I don't really want a headstone, or even a burial plot. I'd rather my body be given to science/medical research/organ donation and the ground put to practical use.

    I suppose if there's no avoiding a burial and a marker for the grave, I hope someone will use my remains as fertilizer for a tree or something.

    I actually have multible qutations prepared depedning on how it is I eventually die.

    If I pass from murder or malpractice "I'm comin back for ya, you sons a'bitches(you know who you are)"

    If I pass before my greatest enemies "I'm haunting you right now. I see you in bed. I could do it better"

    If I pass in some freak accident "Hey guys, check this out"

    If I go the way I want He died after being stepped on by a tyrannosaurus while making love to identical triplet Japanese cheerleaders*

    If I pass in any other circumstances "I'll be back as soon as I finish taking over Hell

    *Note, this is something that will never happen, for multiple reasons. Meaning my preferred manner of death can not happen, which is to say I want to live forever.
