Best one I heard was:

I told you I was sick.

My ex used to say " Whaddya lookin' at?" whenever he saw someone looking at him at the bar. The bartender told him he should put that on his headstone.

I had an idea. Put a spoonful of my ashes in envelopes, and mail one to each country I've traveled to. To a non-existent address, with no return address. Each would eventually be recycled there.

Things that can go wrong: 1. They get sent back to the USA dead letter office/ 2. The sender gets investigated/prosecuted for mailing suspicious substances

Most countries do not have their own dead letter offise, but send them to the US for disposal. So most would wind up in the US no matter where they were mailed from. Once you are a "US Person", you cannot escape.

For the "Money Worshipers", wonder if it would be like a $100 bill?

I always thought those Victorian mausoleums were pretty cool. Little stone houses for the dead. Rest for eternity or at least until someone tears the place apart for another housing development.

Ashes scattered in the ocean, preferably the Pacific, no headstone. Hopefully I'll fertilize some algae, which gets eaten by plankton, which is eaten by a fish, and maybe end up as a bit of a dolphin or a cool killer whale. People who want to visit my grave can stand on the shore and watch the sun or moon reflect off the water.

"Here he lies,
More dead
Than alive"

That should do it.

With no offspring, only my spouse, if go before, will ever come to visit.

No one is going to care.
