I’m astounded that some people have lived such prolific noteworthy lives, were world-famous for decades, contributed so much, made life-changing inventions that the whole world benefitted from …

Yet the only words on their headstone are like “Dad, Brother, Son, We love you.”

Like WHAT?? He invented the xyz and had the leading role in 300 Hollywood films & 20 Guinness world records & discovered the cure for xyz and on & on …

Why not mention any of that on their headstone?

    I like this idea a lot! Because walking through graveyards we get curious and we want to know about these people. Especially celebrities, and we would be fascinated to know the cause of death too because of course that’s never written on the epitaph either. I wish cause of death would be written on epitaphs. I know that would be dark & morbid & in poor taste but honestly that’s what everybody’s interested to know!
