Headstone for Amusing Epitaphs  [#1263672]
Image taken for my I/O, Amusing Epitaphs

Amusing Epitaphs, the In and Out…

Note1You’ve seen them and read about them, those amusing epitaphs on some head stones. They usually creep up around Halloween, in peoples front lawns. I am guilty of owning and creating several of them! This is just a place for your creative juices to flow, and create an amusing epitaph of your own.Bigsmile


WinkWink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink Wink


HeartIt’s easy, here is all you have to do. Create an amazing or unusual name, and create a poem or saying regarding this particular person’s method of death. (Think Darwin Awards). If the name is more of a description, describe the shape, or the orientation of the headstone. Heart


HeartHeartHeartHeartHeartHeart


Here are some examples, in case I have thoroughly confused you:


Note1AN EXAMPLE OF A NAME AND POEM EPITAPH:

Name: Ima Hogg. Epitaph: She was too fond of sugary cakes, now she is dead, for goodness sakes!

Note1EXAMPLE OF NAME / SHAPE HEADSTONE:

Name: Eileen Overoffen. Headstone Description: The headstone leans to one side.


Note1OR: You can do a combo of both… For example, Joaquin Deadman would have a headstone in the shape of an electric chair, and perhaps an epitaph stating: He fried. He died.

Note1ANOTHER OPTION: Writing a poem about a Darwin Award kind of death. For example: Chuck was brave, Chuck was strong, the bungee cord was just too long.


QuestionGet it?Question

BigsmileWell, not many do, but you can at least try! Have fun with it, I can’t wait to read what you have created!Bigsmile
