Merry Cemetery - Funny Epitaphs

Funny Epitaphs

Romanian

Sub aceasta cruce grea
Zace biata soacra-mea
Trei zile de mai traia
Zaceam eu si cetea ea.
Voi care treceti pa aici
Incercati sa n-o treziti
Ca acasa daca vine
Iarai cu gura pa mine
Da asa eu m-oi purta
Ca-napoi n-a inturna
Stai aicea draga soacra-mea

 English

Under this heavy cross
Lays my poor mother in-law
Three more days she would have lived
I would lay, and she would read (this cross).
You, who here are passing by
Not to wake her up please try
Cause' if she comes back home
She'll criticise me more.
But I'll behave so well
That she'll not return from hell.
Stay here, my dear mother in-law!

Famous quotes containing the words funny and/or epitaphs:

    “Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Here lies the body of Sir John Guise.
    Nobody laughs, and nobody cries;
    Where his soul is and how it fares
    Nobody knows and nobody cares.”
    —Anonymous. From Frobisher’s New Select Collection of Epitaphs (c. 1791)
