AMAZING GRAVESTONES

 

1  .Can you guess on who's tomb is written: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288….?

Yes, it is Ludolph van Ceulen, who died from unknown causes and who wants his mathematical constant Pi   engraved with accuracy to point thirty five decimals on his gravestone.

2.  THE  famous sentence from movie "Someone like it hot" :" NOBODY'S IS PERFECT" you can found as an epitaph of Billy Wilder the Writer and director (1906-2002)

 

3.  "HERE LIES LESTER MOORE AND FOUR SLUGS FROM A 44 NO LESS NO MORE"

Those are not exactly respectful words engraved on wooden  headstone , but no respect for Company Wells Fargo employee, who died in shooting fight near town Tombstone in Arizona. It is a  special graveyard of poor and unwanted souls after all.

4.  Mel Blanca ( 1908-1989) a man of thousand voices  from Warner Bros , wanted his epitaph short and simple: You can read on his tomb words of Bugs Bunny  " THAT'S ALL FOLKS". This Gravestone you can find in Hollywood Forever Cemetery Los Angeles.

5.  Actor and comedian Rodney Dangerfield (1921-2004) when asked press people for how long is he going to stay in the hospital answered:  "If everything OK about a week, if not OK less than 2 hours." Unfortunately  brain surgery did not go well and he died shortly after.  His tomb you can find at Westwood Memorial Park Los Angeles and  will tell you: " RODNEY DANGERFIELD – THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD. "

6.  "I TOLD YOU THAT I AM SICK " !  Those words ,let Spice Milligan (1918-2002) comedian well known for his black humour, engraved on his tomb.

 A few of his famous statements : "I want to be rich to only prove, that money would not bring a happiness. " ;" I am not afraid of dying, only I don't care to be present when it comes. "and  at his good friend's  Harry Secombea ( 1921-2001) funeral he set: "Glad he died first, can't imagine he would sing on mine".  One year later he would die from liver disease and is buried at St.TomasChurch graveyard Winchelsea  East Sussex.

7.  George Johnson didn't have much time to prove his innocence . Taken from his farm for purchasing stolen horses, he was sentenced  and executed too fast to live and see  real thieves. Perhaps is better that we don't know how old was this farmer and how many kids lost their innocent father. Judge paid for this tomb from his own money and chose these words: " HERE LIES GEORGE JOHNSON HANGED BY MISTAKE 1882 HE WAS RIGHT WE WAS WRONG BUT WE STRUNG HIM UP AND NOW HE'S GONE"

 

 Little village in Mexico has a graveyard full of black humour.

1.  Brother of stingy Ricardo revenged him in this epitaph for their father: " All your son's were thinking about you, but Ricardo, he not give a peso. "

2. About tragic circumstances of death of  P.Juvenalese (1968-1993) you would enough after you read this epitaph: "HERE LAYS GOOD HUSBAND, GOOD FATHER, BAD ELECTRICIAN. "

3.  Husband of Brujilda Jalamonte (1973-1997) give his wife this epitaph: HERE IS RESTING MY LAWFUL WIFE. GOD PLEASE RECEIVE HER WITH THE SAME HAPPINESS I AM SENDING HER TO YOU"

4.  Well known thief T.J.Chinchilla (1967-1989) earned this one:  "NOW YOU GONE WITH THE GOD. GOD WATCH YOUR THRONE"!

 

 

St. Augustine Florida has this gem: "THIS WERRY ELABORTE PILE IS ERECKTED IN MEMERY OF  TOLOMATO A SEMINOLE INGINE CHEEF WHOOS WIGWARM STUUD ON THIS SPOT AND SURROUNDINGS WEE CHERRIS HIS MEMERY AS HE WAS A GOOD HARTED CHEEF HE WOOD KNOT TAKE YOOUR SKALP WITHOUT YOU BEGGED HIM TO DO SO OR PADE HIM SUM MUNNY. HE ALWAYS AKTED MORE LIKE A CHRISTSUN GENTLEMAN THAN A SAVAGE INGINE        LET HIM   RIP

This is actual wording on this particular wooden grave stone.

Surrounding tombs are dated anytime between 1880-1890. There is no more info about this great man.
