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?

    Ah death the great humbler, but really headstones imo are more for the people close to you left behind than testament of a life well lived😅

    Personally burn me and spread some ashes somewhere that makes you - people left behind happy remembering me
