All of us eventually meet the same end - we kick the bucket, give up the ghost, push up the daisies; you get the gist. And while ending bereft of life is an inherently sad affair, even then, some people refuse to succumb to despair and only wish to be remembered with joy and laughter. And it isn't like there are only a few of them, as these funny tombstone names prove!

Okay, to be fair, these funny tombstones that we found on this gorgeous Reddit thread aren't exactly real. Meaning, it's people telling us what they wish to have written on their tombstones when the time comes, and not scribings from already existing headstones. However, it would be pretty amazing to find a Victorian-era grave telling us I’m with stupid →. And while there is no such thing now, we’re pretty sure at least half of the people on the list will continue with their short funny tombstone names promise and leave something to be remembered for centuries to come.

One last thing - if it's not too morbid for you, please do share your own ideas for funny names on tombstones in the comments; that would be a hoot! But, of course, first, you’re going to need to read the funny tombstone sayings that people on this AskReddit shared, rank them the way you wish, and share this article with anyone you think might find this list particularly amusing.

"Slightly off topic…. but I saw a picture of a headstone once that had a cookie recipe on the back of it. The poster said that while grandma was alive, they’d ask her for her famous cookie recipe and she’d say, "Over my dead body". So, when she died, they found the recipe and put it where she always said - over her dead body.I don't care if it's true or not; that's savage and I’m here for it!"

Can't believe nobody posted Lester Moore's epitaph from his grave in the Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone. "Here lies Lester Moore - 4 slugs from a .44 - no Les no more. ... https://images.app.goo.gl/ZRmR3BeB8GCpjrgr9

"This isn't the last you'll hear from me!"

Already have mine planned out. Lighting could not take me out. But she did.
