Somebody once asked me what kind of music I thought undertakers might listen to and I replied, quick as a flash, “The Grateful Dead.”.A well-known epitaph with, with many variations, is:.“To you who now are walking by,As you are now, so once was I.As I am now , so you will be.Prepare yourself to follow me.”.I still gives me a shiver to think of that, as if someone was walking on MY grave. Which is even more disturbing – because I’ve asked to be cremated!
Better a parking lot than building houses over the graves….but forgetting to move the bodies….“In the mood for chicken?….come on down to POULTRY geist today!”

Actually it was Judy Collins who sang Both Sides Now, and I’m surprised no one else has noted that.

@Amar7605: how long have you been absent from the planet not to know who Joni Mitchell is?

lot more sides than one or 2 or win or lose. Have no illusions about it, when there’s been no burial for 50-100 years, there will be a parking lot.
.Got a great uncle co-mingled under a parking lot in LA. That means the ashes were mixed together before the asphalt.
