Not only was he a father, but he was a medical personnel of some kind as well – the Caduceus, the rod with two snakes, is a dead giveaway. If the epitaph is any indication, it seems he was also a fan of shutting up and letting others think you’re stupid, rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt.
Whether he asked for this to be added to his final resting place, or his family decided it was the best memorial, it must have been best to talk smart around this doc.
Poor Sense of Direction
Yes, by all accounts, the move to the afterlife is one that is hard to screw up. There aren't any other paths, no winding streets, and most theories say there is some sort of guide, just in case. No matter where you're headed, you'll get there.
And good thing, too, because this dearly departed must have been legendary for her ability to get lost. It happens to all of us every once in a while, and the advent of GPS has made many people far more reliable, but poor Lexie here wasn't able to make use of such modern advances.
The Standard Order
It seems that even those no longer with us get hungry for some tasty food every once in a while. And not in a scary zombie way, either. The headstone up close shows us a couple with the last name "Burger." Look closely at the headstone on the right, and you'll find that the family has the name "Fries."
We'd love to say this was planned, but even if the people picking their plots noticed, they might not have cared much. Burial plots are pricey. The headstone on the left probably doesn't say “Coke,” though we really wish it did.
Everybody's Having a Good Time
Found at a beach graveyard, this tombstone is going with the flow of the area. Mark the Welder lived a happy fifty-six years, welding and using illicit substances and maybe even riding the waves if the wording on the headstone is any indication.
Just because you've passed on doesn't mean you have to be all mopey. Go on, have a laugh, relax a little bit. Chew the fat with Mark the Welder. How good of a welder do you have to be to have it printed on your tombstone? This guy is an ever-unfolding mystery.
Forget What?
It's sad – sobering, really – to think about, but eventually, you will be forgotten. Friends will pass, family members will fade. Your great-great-great-great grandchildren will know you existed, but they'll know nothing about you. This headstone looks like it's trying to jump-start the process by including no information. Of course, there is another explanation for this.
The name "Forget" (pronounced For-jet) is common in Quebec (where this cemetery is found), and the person likely hasn't passed away yet. Thus, no information is inscribed on the headstone just yet. Or maybe someone just failed to get it done.
