If Each Type Wrote Their Own [Tongue-in-Cheek] Tombstone from Beyond

Happy Halloween! This is just for fun! I would normally let this idea pass on (I have a graveyard of post ideas that will never see the light of day 😉🪦), but ’tis the season, so why not!

I was thinking about the phrase, “That’ll be on my tombstone” (and similar sentences), so those inspired this post.

Thanks to Brandon Hall for the artwork!

P.S. If you’re curious about why, at times, I start the list with Type 8, check out my reel called “Why I post ‘out of order.’”

Type Four

  • Finally, my jokes aren't "too macabre" for the situation.

Type Five

  • The nature of existence is a strange and fragile concept. In this essay, I will –

  • Did you know about the 5 stages of decomposition?

Type Seven

  • It's actually better this way because even though I'm not technically alive, I'm pretty sure I have superpowers now.

  • You only live once and all, but I'm going to be the most epic ghost. Boo!

  • At least I went out with a bang. No regrets!
