Ethel Mae Mcmurtrey

Here lies old Ethel Mae McMurtrey She fell while trimming a pine tree The mortician removed the needles From prickly Ethel Mae McMurtrey

Silly, if you ask me, but since you didn't, I'm glad you are enjoying them. I first discovered funny epitaphs at Disney World. There's a cemetery full of them at the entrance of the Haunted House. Haven't been there for years, though. These are just popping up out of the blue.
