Origin

The earliest known examples of humorous tombstone epitaph were highlighted on Colorado resident June Shaputis' personal website Webpanda^[1] in 1998 (shown below).

Funny Stones To Tickle Your Funny Bones By June Shaputis copyright 19S0 The living have the opportunity to engrave in stone some thought appropriate to the character, or circumstances surrounding the death, of the deceased individual. Some epitaphs are unique and very revealing It is difficult to find anything entertaining about a death, but on occasion, death can be humorous and bizarre. Sometimes, humor can be found where least likely. Cemeteries, for example, can be startlingly funny to the uninitiated. Many epitaphs are unintentionally, and sometimes, intentionally, amusing. Conceivably, the stonecutter or the family members did not realize how future generations would look upon their attempt to memorialize the deceased loved one. In most large cemeteries, you will probably find an epitaph that goes something like this one found in Waynesville, North Carolina: Effie Jean Robinson 1897-1922 Come blooming youths, as you pass by And on these lines do cast an eve As you are now, so once was I; As I am now, so must you be Prepare for death and follow me. Which is not funny at all. But undemeath, someone had added: To follow you I am not content, How do Iknow Which way you went. ath in the West Here lies Lester Moore Four slugs From a forty-four No Les No More
