Here lies Jodie Catherine Lynn Fox Slipped and fell in a patch of phlox Hit her head on a stone There she lay silent prone We put her remains in a new frocked box Written June 2, 2022

Before I decided to be cremated, I always said I wanted to be buried in a frocked box! Why put all that money into the ground?

I love those patches of pink phlox, but why do I find them funny. Why do they bring a smile to my face, even sometimes, a snicker?

man!!!! people should really install fun epitaphs on their tombs, a walk in the cemetery would have another meaning...

It would, indeed. I love the one that says, "I told you I was sick!" I think it might be Dorothy Parker, although several epitaphs have been attributed to her. Another funny one is "Gone, best forgotten" which is a twist on the expected. Thanks, Marco.

Glad you got a kick out of it, Jan. I love writing them when they happen to pop into my mind. You should write some.
