Ma loved Pa
Pa love Women
Ma caught Pa with two in swimmin
Here lies Pa

Pardon me if I misled you on this question. I didn't read it at the graveyard! I was in the gift shop and read it on a miniature headstone.

god an the soldier
all men adore
in time of trouble
and no more
for when war is over
and all things right
god is neglected
the old soldier slighted

Lots of them. Here are two of my favorites. The first is on a grave marker in Brooklyn. The second on a simple wooden marker in a boot hill cemetery in South Dakota:
1. "Here lies the body of Solomon Pease
Under the daisies and under the trees.
Pease is not here, only the pod.
Pease shelled out and went home to God".
2. "He called Jim Brown a liar!".

come on , I heard that as a small child (almost 60 now). It's been retold from Tennesse, Illinois , Missouri, most every farming community in the mid west. It's as much a legend as the fifty dollar Corvette that someone died in.While in the military I met 5 idiots that swear that they bought that car !

Falkirk, England
1690
Here lie the bones of Joseph Jones
Who ate while he was able.
But once overfed, he dropt down dead
And fell beneath the table.
When from the tomb, to meet his doom,
He arises amidst sinners.
Since he must dwell in heaven or hell,
Take him - whichever gives the best dinners.

I have seen one that was written by a mans wife and his mistress. If I copied it the way it was carved onto his headstone I would receive a violation for sure.

The ones I heard aren't really true but should be: For Example: W. C. Fields: I'd rather be in Philadelphia!

Just read:

Hit the gas, instead of the brake!
