And no I am not referring to the old frozen pizza ad.
I just ordered my own tombstone. None of us know when our time will be up and being single I think it is the responsible thing to do.
I wanted something unique that will stand out . Maybe one that a cemetery guide will include on his tour someday.
So I have ordered a Christmas tree ( I have a rather large collection) shaped stone with my name engraved with letters that look like Scrabble ( my favorite game) tiles. And my name interlocked like it would be on a Scrabble board. Across the bottom will be WORLD TRAVELER. On the backside a world map. I am thinking of having him add NUDIST across the bottom of the backside.
Thoughts?

funguyAug 25, 2023i noticed that the words "bottom" and "backside" appear twice each in your post. coincidence?
i have two kids. hopefully at least one will survive and put whatever they want on it. i don't plan to be around to check. ;)

The Christmas tree sounds like a good idea to me. The little added anecdotes add character and will probably get a chuckle or two. Good for you!!! Sounds like a plan.

How about, "Barely Lived."

Hmmm cremation - still not convinced it doesn't hurt!!!
That aside, like a another here am hoping the date reveals +100years at least from birth year, and like yet another "Free at Last" may be befitting

TimAug 26, 2023We're being cremated. I've left instructions to dump my ashes in a local river. That way I'll eventually make it to the ocean. I also told them not to announce it or ask permission so no one can object.

DrewAug 26, 2023Definitely having my ashes spread in a special place. But if I had one, maybe Happiness is only real when it is shared.

I sent an email to the memorial company asking if they could add one word to the base of the tombstone and got a prompt YES
So NATURIST will be on there . I decided to use the more subtle term.
