Tombstones and epitaphs that leave us thinking

cementerio4.jpg From time to time publish in this blog, for serious people, some photos of humor. To my surprise most read entries are not considered, but the humorous. This week I decided to post photos of tombstones.

I like going to cemeteries or search the Internet tablets, and as curious people express at the last minute what is it deep in his heart. But the headstones and epitaphs not write the dead (which probably will never know) but the living.
Here are some epitaphs (not necessarily true):

- "He lived while he was alive" (Cemetery Tomb of Agreda, Soria)

- "Here is rest which never worked." (P. Melich)

- "Lose weight. Ask me how. "(Miguel Collantes)

- "I told myself that this doctor was not worth much." (Miguel Mihura, by himself)

- In the tomb of Groucho Marx: "Sorry I did not get up, lady."

cementerio3.jpg "I wrote a husband in the tomb of his mother:" Here you lie and you lie Well, you rest and I also. "

"In a tomb in the cemetery of Guadalajara:" My husband died after a year of marriage. His wife, with deep appreciation. "

"In the tomb of Johann Sebastian Bach:" From here I can think of no leakage. "

"I wrote the husband in the tomb of the wife:" Soon I'll be with you. " After the death of the husband, an acquaintance, to see such distant dates of death, wrote below: "I thought you were not coming."

"A husband in the tomb of his mother:" So many find peace as you let me calm "

"I wrote on the stone a few days before his death:" I told them I was sick. "

"In the graveyard of Minnesota:" Deceased by the will of God and the help of a doctor asshole. "

"On a tombstone of Detroit municipal cemetery:" Here lies Joseph Barth, whose life was brief but full of joy, thanks to his faithful companion, Angelica at the age of twenty-five hid his pain at 7 Elmer Street, Phone 2-13-18-15.

- "Leave me alone."

cementerio2.jpg "In a tomb of a cemetery of Paria:" Luisa C. (1835-1867), come quickly to my side. " Below: "I come quickly. Peter, (1831-1907). That is after forty years.

"In California a headstone:" Here lies Jane Smith, wife of Thomas Smith, mason. This monument was erected by her husband in his memory and model. Only costs three hundred dollars. "

"I wrote a husband in the tomb of his mother:" RIP, RIP, Hooray!

Registration in the door of a cemetery Catalan: "Arise, vagrants, the land is to the tiller."

"In a cemetery in Middlebury, on a tablet erected by the son-in-law:" Rest until we meet again. "

"In the grave of her husband:" Next time I'll make the case. "

"In the tomb of a doctor:" Here lies one who lie many in this place. "

"Here lies Bill Smith and four .44 caliber bullets."

cementerio1.jpg "Epitaph of a smoker:" Smoking thins. "

These are tombstones of the living that bother some people.

"Life" - The word "Life" with web codes mean that something has ended.

cementerio5life.jpgtombstone-al-capone.jpg The latter is one that left me thinking. The Salvatore (Frank) Capone famous gangster Al Capone's brother. His funeral was lavish with more than $ 20,000 in floral arrangements. However, the epitaph on his tomb is of insecurity and confusion of what will happen with his life after his death. He says his epitaph, "My Jesus, mercy" - "My Jesus, (ten) mercy."

    A friend of mine shared with his students at the Institute CanZion epitaphs Queretaro about what you wrote ... if not you, would write what you know?

    made me think when I saw his his writing on his blog and thinking about it look epitaphs on the web, from there I found this excellent site, and finish writing a proposal to mine ...

    "Never get off the look, not to read this headstone, lift your head, believe God, fulfill your dreams and never, never give up"

    Three Epitaphs more:
    1. In a tomb in Paris: "My name ... so what, my sex .. who would care. "
    2. From a young woman of 15 years of Chilpancingo, Gro .- "I am not dying, I go to life"
    3. In a rare husband Mexico City: "She was not of this world"
    4. A faithful friend: "My friend, and get you"
    5. One very appellant: "These tombs hold the bodies, God their souls, and we are his memories."
    In reality there are thousands of curious epitaphs, some contain great pain and there are others, that cause laughter. At the end of the road everyone is in the tomb of others, something you would like to bring in theirs.
