Good one. I've been collecting epitaph for years but now I'll share the ones that are on my list of possibilities. " I did it my way " " I told you I was sick" "
"See you on the flip side" Feel free to use any as I'm having my ashes scattered.

Here's one for your collection: Sample of an old Epitaph;

"Stop ye travelers
as you pass by
As you are now,
so once was I
As I am now,
soon you shall be -
Prepare yourself to follow me."
* * * * *
To that, oldbuck added these words:

"But too follow me,
don’t be content
How do you know,
which way I went?"
And as you think
upon that thought,
Was I called or was I sent?

How about, "Sure glad that's over!"

Had to laugh @lolaemma ! As a long time army wife and army brat, my epitaph is going to be “I’m not moving!”
From birth until now, I’ve moved 30 times!
