Hilarious Headstones That Bring Levity to The Graveyard

For these graves, the deceased member or their family thought that adding a bit of humor to their headstones would go a long way. Let’s pay our respects by laughing along, just as these funny people intended.

Why? Because you know they’ve been listening to those jokes their whole life. Even though they probably grew sick of it in their youth, they decided to be a good sport and leave us with the gift that keeps on giving. What a nice thing to do.

We think this is a pretty unique way to have yourself remembered.

Short, and straight to the point George made sure his last thoughts were clear.

Most importantly you can see she had a wonderful sense of humor!

At least their statement is clear and leaves no opportunity for visitors to get lost.

This headstone was created as a tribute for Paul who loved to play you will never guess…Scrabble!

However, if that is a real name, what a good job from the parents who were that forward-thinking. Then, to the guy, who wanted to keep the fun going by making a joke as his final words to the world. This serves as inspiration for all of us to be open to a great closing line while we still have time.

Matching headstones where one is proclaiming the stupidity of the other is especially interesting when you realize they both died on the same day. Is the person on the left stupid because of whatever they did to take them both into the netherworld together? Perhaps this was their family’s way of making light of an actual dark situation. Kudos all around.

So, making a work of art out of a headstone is the next big thing. This grave has to be a statement and something that will be considered art for millennia to come. Hopefully, there’s info about the person somewhere, like a name and dates. Either way, it will be talked about.

This one in particular is even topped with an adorable cat statue.

A reminder of what’s to come can help put things in perspective. When you’re young, you’re invincible and have the whole world ahead of you. Suddenly, you wake up one day and you’re 85, wondering what happened to the time. Never look at an older person and laugh. That will be you one day. If you’re lucky.

So, why not have a final monument to the life-altering invention? When you think about it, humans have always built statues and memorials of things and people they cared deeply about. Computers are just the most modern example. It’s just unfortunate this person had to pass away before the new thin monitors came out, but that’s another subject.

Technically, you can sit down and stay awhile now that there’s a couch. This isn’t just any couch, though. Not only is it stone, but it’s deep. That means you can curl up and perhaps even give a good read to the grave. A pillow is included. Could they have been more thoughtful? No.

What’s also life is having a good sense of humor. Sometimes you have to embrace a lighthearted approach to some dark topics. Just like this headstone did for death.

It shows some character, too. You had some good humor and liked leaving on a memorable note. This headstone will be a talking point for this graveyard, forever and for always.

Today, with all the apps and tracking, you’d think it would be much easier to get a spot, but no. Now, these two can rest eternally in the city of their choice in their own personal parking space.

Were they trying to convey you don’t know who they really were? Perhaps they wanted to leave those who visit with a thought-provoking art piece. Whatever it was, we definitely have some thoughts. The kind of legacy you leave behind is all that is left, in the end.

The constant need to be in your business does not stop after childhood. Some kids stay nosey forever. This woman clearly had enough. After all these years of being hassled, Joan is ready to tuck in for the long sleep. Do not disturb. It’s in writing.

Was this what was wanted? Was there a better way to get to a better place? Maybe the angel is just lovingly watching over the person they guarded. There’s so much opportunity for interpretation here.

The real message here all along was to “Goodbye” in the bottom. This person wants to bid farewell to those who came to see them off. Also to all the future visitors.

On a side note, it would be a great thing to add to your headstone if you were a habitual wearer of high heels. Everyone knows how uncomfortable and damaging those things are. Weirdly, that never stops people passionate about shoes from donning them on a regular basis.

So, that makes this headstone feel like a taunt from beyond the grave. Yes, we get it, you have all the answers. If you have some info, feel free to share it in the form of a dream or a ghostly visit, won’t you?

This guy realized that and found a way to turn the situation into a poem. At least his nieces and nephews found a way to make his life lyrical. The best part is that they made a point to focus on the fact that he did have a good time living it up. In the end, that’s really what matters.

These two individuals probably did not know each other in life, but boy do they add a touch of whimsy to a place filled with sadness. What a catch.

The image is also something of a time capsule, given the fact that no one has phones like that anymore. She was probably frequently seen in life using a phone and that warms the hearts of her family. Well done.

To be fair, if you have told people a multitude of times that there was something wrong and you weren’t feeling well, it makes sense. You’re allowed one more time to rub it in that you were onto something. Being right and not being heard was what helped you get to this point in the first place. Perhaps it stands as a lesson for everyone going forward who catches a glimpse of this message.

This couple was separated for almost nine years, but Sharol made sure to keep their favorite pastime part of their legacy. Is there a more playful headstone? Probably not. It’s unique and tells a story, that’s really all we can hope for when we’re gone. Even if the people visiting the grave have no clue who you are, they know something about you now.

One of the most popular movies of the 90s would still have been a big talking point when Micah was laid to rest. This is touching even more when you realize that the real line, about seeing dead people from The Sixth Sense, is more relevant now that they can.

Is he fighting the inevitable by trying to break out of the grave? Is he about to yell at the youngsters for being too loud? Is he just taking a peek outside to see what he’s been missing out on? Hard to say but having people ponder on it will keep his memory alive well beyond what his condensed life allowed.

This person made it very clear where they rather be.

A few jokes to help distract from the current predicament would be appreciated and might even help. Can this guy muster up some funnies or is he too sad about the departure to come up with anything? He definitely does not look like he’s in the mood.

Some are eager to pay millions of dollars to get the specific year of a make and model from their dreams. This person was just not willing to part with their BMW, not in this life or the next. There’s no question about what was important to this person.

This man’s family truly appreciated the way he referred to things. His language made him extra special in their eyes, so they wanted to make sure others would know about it, too. This thoughtful headstone will be noticed by many as time marches forward.

The person who died, like many of us, put off updating the will after a breakup. So, when the day came, the ex did not hold back. This is the last jab at the person who left, and it’s both sad and entertaining.

Not just to her family and friends, but literally anyone who passes by her physical resting place. Etched in stone, Kay put her whole recipe to ensure the creation of great fudge.

Everyone from far and wide looked forward to having one at Christmas. They were the statement piece of the party. Thanks for sharing, mom.

Then, there’s a curveball that wasn’t expected. Oh my, what was going on here? Is it funny, or is it not? He told us once but I forgot. So tell us now, and tell us true, so we can know if we should laugh, too.

Just as rudely, death does not consult them either. You have no say whether you’re here or when you want to go. Or how. Perhaps this Chattanooga citizen still found a way to make it worthwhile.

Unfortunately, that hasn’t shut them down completely, but you have to believe we’re getting there. This poor person claims they met their ultimate demise by not forwarding the message.

As dreamy as it is to imagine being remembered in such a glorious and space-wasting way, could you imagine doing that for literally every person who passes? Or even just saving the honor for heroic people. There isn’t enough land to make that work. Perhaps a headstone will do for now.

In having four girls, this person found beauty in what was given. You never know what’s around the corner, all you can do is react. How you react will be a testament to your experience. When you react with love, it’s love that you get back. How sweet.

Couples that laugh together definitely stay together.

Though the message may be harsh, you can’t help but smile when you look at this headstone.

This tribute perfectly captures Montogomery’s role as Samantha- a witch in Bewitched an American fantasy sitcom television series.

You can’t really argue with a sentiment like this.

Last century’s initials, this year’s Laugh Out Loud.

and apparently that goes for death, too.

I wonder if this was his first, ever hole in one?

“Oh Well What Ever” was all she had to say.

This would be a pretty evil prank to play on kids but it does make for a hysterical gravestone. Not to worry, kiddos. Santa is alive and well checking his list and checking it twice.

This could be an ad for a real apartment in a city. We love the callout to the neighbors being “dead quiet”. Genius!

Our favorite part has to be the distinguished photo of Frosty. His headstone is fancier than most humans! Simply, he was a pal and for that reason we hope he rests in peace.

Not to mention the interesting architecture they’ve got going on. We hope they’re resting peacefully in that house.

While murder is no laughing matter, Samuel made it to age 98, against all odds. Bullets, bayonets, and beatings couldn’t take him down so he must have been one strong dude.

We wouldn’t necessarily call dying a temporary setback. It’s kind of a permanent thing. But we love headstones like this that tell us so much about who these people were!

Headstones like this use just the dark humor we know and love.

While it’s pretty extreme, it is effective. We’re sorry it took such an extreme measure for this person to kick the habit. But thanks for the funny headstone!

Someone’s political beliefs seems like a random fact to put on someone’s resting place, but the random fact does make us giggle.

She might have talked a lot of peoples’ ears off, but ironically, she is now out of breath.
