  Do not stand at my grave and weep
  I am not here, I do not sleep
  I am the thousand winds that blow,
  I am the diamond glints on snow
  I am the sun on ripened grain
  I am the gentle autumn rain
  I am the shining stars at night
  When you awake to the morning light
  I am the soft uplifting rush
  Of quiet birds in circled flight
  My time has come, I am at rest
  I am the sunset in the west
  I am the clouds that race above
  Where I watch over those I love
  Do not stand at my grave and cry
  I am not here, I do not die
  So hear the words that here I say
  I am the love that guides your way.

  I've always loved this. But, it would be a very large headstone, wouldn't it?

  Terry I think I like this line the best. Very nice choice by the way!

  I am the thousand winds that blow,

  As for my body, butn it up grinnd it down and encase it in a statue of me naked and write below it something so smart...probably something I could not make up.

  Sparky... a statue of you naked? Be sure to tell your next of kin to notify me of the burial site.

  I will be creamated too, but I do want my ashes mixed with beer and tossed at a wet tea shirt contest, at my favorit Bar.

  Then I want my family brothers and their sons to get good and drunk, and tell fantastic stories about me that may be true or not true and full of blarney glorious and full of pomp.

  Well, for a long time I was determined to be cremated, and to have my ashes mixed with a large quantity of disgustingly strong cannabis resin, and then smoked by my friends at the funeral.

  Hell, they'd be left-overs, people could have little stashes of me laid up for years...

  However, for anyone with a mouth as large as me the opportunity of a headstone is a fascinating one.

  The rude;

  Get off my fucking feet you asshole

  The lewd;

  Notice to all female visitors; please feel free to sit on my face

  The stupid

  Behind you!

  The old 'Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse' thing has always struck me as stupid.

  As with some others my general plan is to 'Live smart, die old, and leave a dessicated husk'. I like "Woo Hoo!".

  I don't want to be embalmed, it sounds icky. One of these ecological funerals where they bury you in a biodegradbale coffin on a hillside and plant a tree over you sounds cool. The diamond idea is also fascinating

  This is the best geek headstine I have seen;

  I want to be buried with my ass in the air in my back yard.

  My husband then will have a parking spot for his bike!

  I kinda want a funeral pyre, sort of the Norse style. Or being cremated and having my ashes baked into a ceramic disc, say a Tai-chi symbol--"Yin Yang", and having friends or family just leave it on a mountain peak in the Cascades.
