15 Funniest and Most Creative Epitaphs EVER

Epitaphs are like the last message our deceased loved ones leave us. It can also be the other way around, such as the words and messages we want to convey to them as they rest in peace. There are those common epitaph messages such as “You shall be dearly missed” or “In God’s time we shall meet again” etc.. and perhaps reading these lines when we visit their resting place brings solace or comfort.

But then there are those epitaph messages that instead of giving the visitor peace and solemnity, it might illicit laughter or curiosity instead! See for yourself actual tombstones with the funniest messages, and even the most creative decorations!

John must have been really loved by his friends! Look at that lovely message.

We must admit this is clever. This epitaph can be found at the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec, Canada belonging to John Laird McCaffrey, who died in 1995 at the age of 54. Beautiful message, hilarious hidden acrostic!

Justin’s friends following in on the trend.

Just when you thought they were highlighting all of Justin’s best qualities… oh shit.

I bet more internet and technology-themed epitaphs are to come, such as the overused, “Now Signing off, XXXXX”

Everytime a loved one visits, they might have to be forced to communicate to the dead via Ouija!

Guess what is Mike’s most favorite thing in the world.

Aside from the fact people will remember him through his hobby, I must say everyone might be in awe by the artistry on this one. Now I’m jealous and maybe wants a laptop-themed headstone, or one with a bottle of wine…
