Tombstone names.........

I could really use some help with those cute little names folks put on tombstones. I'm making a Halloween wreath and it will have some tombstones on it and I want to put names on them under the R.I.P. Any help sure would be appreciated!



Oh, BTW, I'm Nath, I'm new and I'm a SAHM in NJ.

[img]images/smiley_icons/heyitsme.gif[/img] Hi! Welcome to CC! [img]images/smiley_icons/friends.gif[/img] Let me think about it for a little while, but I'll try to help you with names! [img]images/smiley_icons/oh yes.gif[/img]

[img]images/smiley_icons/smile.gif[/img] Welcome to the Community! So happy that you found us and dropped in to visit.



I found some epitaphs and I found some silly names--between the two I hope you will be able to combine and use them for the purpose that you need.

Good Luck!

I've always loved this one, can't remember where I first saw it...

I read the names in Mawmaw's links... Didn't see <font color="deeppink">Dawn A. Thyme</font>



I also know a few headstone poems:



Beneath these stones

Repose the bones

Of Theodosius Grimm

He took his beer

From year to year

And then the bier took him



****************************



Beneath this stone, this lump of clay

Lies Uncle Peter Daniels

Who too early in the month of May

Took off his winter flannels



*******************************



Here we lie in this grave,

Back to back, my wife and I.

When the last trump the the air should fill,

If she gets up, I'll just lie still.



************************************



Here lies the grave of Mike O'Day

Who died maintaining his right of way.

His right was clear

His will was strong

But he's just as dead

If he'd been wrong

&quot;Collecting&quot; tombstones is a hobby of mine. I hope no one was offended at any of the above. They are all real, and are located in various graveyards around the US.

Under strange doctor's names, we have a ob-gyn in Montgomery who is named Dr. Virgin. [img]images/smiley_icons/lol1.gif[/img] My daughter saw his partner during the pregnancies of her two sons, but his name was Dr. Ashurst. She never got to see Dr. Virgin.

That's too funny!

[img]images/smiley_icons/lol1.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/lol1.gif[/img] When my brother had his appendix out his dr was Dr. Payne, and then we heard Dr. Slaughter being called for over the paging speakers. [img]images/smiley_icons/lol1.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/lol1.gif[/img]

Ok, no joking here... but this is an irony. My niece's doctor's name is Kent Clark. When it's listed in the phonebook, it looks like Clark, Kent MD. Even funnier is the actual phone booth just in front of his office.

I wonder if his wife's name is Lois?
