In times (long) past, all the old cinema organists used to have thier own signature tune, so that when they came up on the lift from the pit, the audience could tell who was playing.
It has become a sort of tradition, that when one of these old timers passes on, at the moment of committal during their funeral, somebody will get on the crematorium chapel organ, and play thier signature tune as the coffin dissappears.
Some years ago, the body of one of these dear departed musicians was thus despatched to the strains of ...

"Oh God uhm you look pissed."

I heard that when WC Fields was on his death bed a man approached him and noticed he was reading the Bible. He asked him about it knowing he had never been religious. He asked what he was doing. WC never looked up and replied "Looking for a loophole."

I guess seriously I would want how much I love my kids. That is all that really matters to me so I would want it forever in stone. So everytime they visit my sight I could tell them in a way that I love them. I have accomplished alot in music. Music was my one love forever until I held my 1st born. After that music took a back seat and has for 10 years now. I can't imagine not being able to tell my 3 kids that I love them. So when I go out I want it on my stone so they can at least read it everytime they visit and know I had it put there because I could no longer say it but my love for them remains eternal.

Ok off the mushy stuff lol

I certainly wouldn't want the mods, on this site to visit my final resting place and read my headstone. Unless it's nice, sweet and to their liking, off it comes !

No problem, proves fact & truth hurts.

You're starting to learn, Justin. Of course, I would imagine that in your grave, you'd be a permanent resident with a proven identity. Can't say the same for your presence here.
But I suppose if you post David Duke shit in the cemetery, you'll get deleted there, too.

I'd like young couples on my gravestone... Then I can be a dirty really old man!

But WRITTEN on the gravestone, I want the following:

"Now that I am silent
One thing above all I regret:
Not singing those songs
That nobody has written yet"

But more realistically, I'd be happy enough if they spell the surname right!

From olddude:

>>I read that some celeb had
"I told you I was sick" <<

It was our beloved Spike Milligan, Dan...greatly missed over here in the UK. He was just the funniest man. Suffered terrible depression in his life though, often locking himself away for weeks at a time, but when he came back to us, he made us cry with laughter. He was one of The Goons, along with Harry Seccombe, Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine. He was all around, everywhere, in my childhood...and he was still there making my daughter laugh, so many years later.

If only we could have him back again! Still, we sell loads of books about Spike in The National Trust shop, so he's still very much loved and far from forgotten about.


I told you I was ill

Roland Kirk, the jazz musician, said that when he died, he wanted to be cremated so that people could smoke his ashes and get high. Inpractical, when you think about it. Ashes don't burn as they've already been burnt. Still nice thought, I suppose.

On Yeat's grave, it quotes one of his own poems:

Cast a cold eye
on life, on death.
Horseman, pass by.
