R.I.P. .... but with a smile !

I spend quite a lot of time on my computer, but I don't think I'd want one on my grave.

Do you think someone was being funny?

Makes you wonder when they were ever together with two hobbies like that - maybe someone getting a dig in you think?

Elsie hasn't got a date of death so maybe she's still alive.

 My favorite epitaph
'I told you I was sick'

[Lydart]

Wasn't that Spike Milligan ?

Lydart - I think he'd probably like that one as well

Just found this on Wiki ...

Milligan died from liver disease, at the age of 83, on 27 February 2002, at his home in Rye, East Sussex. He had once quipped that he wanted his headstone to bear the words "I told you I was ill." He was buried at St Thomas's Church cemetery in Winchelsea, East Sussex, but the Chichester Diocese refused to allow this epitaph. A compromise was reached with the Irish language translation, "Dúirt mé leat go raibh mé breoite", and additionally in English, "Love, light, peace".

I had another query on here about a Church on the Yorkshire Moors near Ravensgill (holidaying there with Bradford friends in the '70's) which had a lot of hilarious epitaphs. 
 I had a cine camera and spent some time recording the graves. Of course "s-d's" law , the tape was never returned from Kodak!!
The only link I have is that The Mouseman ( Robert Thompson of Kilburn)had carved his signature mouse into the new pews.
Wonder if there is anyone who knows the church and can record the inscriptions on graves.?
