Good stuff.
I was really inspired by this:
"The Mortal Remains of the Venerable Bede (673-735) lie in Durham Cathedral, under a tombstone with an epitaph that must win all prizes for a “no nonsense” approach to death. In rhyming Latin doggerel, the vault proclaims: Hac sunt in fossa, Baedae venerabilis ossa—The bones of the Venerable Bede lie in this grave.” (Fossa is, literally, a ditch or a trough, but we will let this gentler reading stand.)"
I am definitely going to have a rhyming latin epitaph on my grave.
