(Anything said in Latin sounds profound!)

How about some Latin epitaphs then? I've thought up a few, found a couple and translated:

Tam Exanimis Quam Tunica Nehru Fio
I'm as Dead as the Nehru Jacket

Fortes Fortuna Juvat. Diis Aliter Visum.
Fortunme Favors the Brave. The God's Decided Otherwise.

Cave cibum, valde malus est
Beware the food, it is very bad

... and my favorite would be ...

Stercus Accidit
**** Happens

MaineGirl, I found this lovely epitaph; very popular in the DR:

"Aquí murió Mojica,
Muerto e jambre
y jalto e crica"

-Indie
It's not standard, though.

[Gymngatagaica]

The standard epitaph in the Dominican Rep. reads= 'que en paz descanse'.. rest in peace ( I think).


My personal epitaph? .. Primus inter pares= 'first among equals'

[Loxaeed]

Are there any standard Dominican epitaphs? I'd love to know what they are!!

Bonus question:
What would you like your stone to read?

[29clepayJainync]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Take a walk in your local cemetery and come up with something interesting.

As far as the DR, zeus is correct.
