Jodie Catherine Lynn Fox

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

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?

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.
