A BIT OF TOMBSTONE HUMOR & ACTUAL EPITAPHS

THEY DO IT AT WEDDINGS…SO WHY NOT?


In a London, England cemetery:
Ann Mann
Here lies Ann Mann,
Who lived an old maid
But died an old Mann.

Playing with names in a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery:
Here lies Johnny Yeast
If he could talk he would say
Pardon me For not rising.

in a cemetery in Hartscombe, England:
On the 22nd of June,
Jonathan Fiddle Went out of tune.

A Lawyer’s epitaph in England: Sir John Strange
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange.


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


Dec. 8, 1767 In a Ribbesford, England, cemetery:
Anna Wallace
The children of Israel wanted bread
And the Lord sent them manna,
Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife,
And the Devil sent him Anna.

Anna Hopewell’s grave in Enosburg Falls, Vermont Has an epitaph that sounds like something from a Three Stooges movie:
Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana
It wasn’t the fruit that laid her low
But the skin of the thing that made her go.
