How do you want your headstone to read?

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
Not as a statement of indesisivness but a credit to having an open mind.

I already had this planned out by the time I hit high school. 

I want Christina Rossetti's poem Remember on my headstone.  I quite haven't figured out how to manage it because I want to be cremated.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

I haven't thought about this much but I like the one Phil Laak (pro poker play) has chosen.

That's what my dad wants on his, too  :D

Like subvinorosa, I'm going to be cremated  :P

If I did have a tombstone, it would say something like, "I'm watching you while you take a shower."

I saw a creepy one once that said, "As I am now, you soon shall be, so prepare for death and follow me"

It is of course a quote from the inimitable, comic genious that was Spike Milligan, and I believe it is on his headstone.

christ's will probably read "Have a nice weekend, see you Monday".  Actually knowing him he'd start quoting Newton and the difference between the Judean and Julian calendars...
