There are some people who leave huge marks on this world. They have a personality that’s larger than life and they’re a magnet for love and attraction. And chances are, they have a great sense of humor as well. These are the types of people that would create hysterical tombstones like these.

Here are 13 hilarious tombstones that prove that a sense of humor goes beyond the grave.

They’ll certainly be remembered forever.

1) Oops! Sorry, Janet!

Although Janet M. has left the planet – her sense of humor is still alive and kicking. Just be careful when you go to visit her and pay your respects – you’ll want to watch where you’re standing or you could be causing her a bit of discomfort.

2) That’s a deep love right there.

If you’ve ever lived in a household with multiple siblings (sisters, at that!), then you know that bathroom vacancy (or the lack thereof) can cause serious drama. We applaud this parent for having the patience and sanity to deal with that. Plus, we commend them for letting the world know about the hardships they’ve endured.

3) Death meets art deco.

Once you’re dead, I suppose it’s important to have a little fun and embrace your ‘deadness’. This person wanted to have their headstone be quite the statement piece of the cemetery. I wonder what it was like to design this contemporary piece with the artist – now that’s an interesting conversation.

4) Subtle move, John. Well played.

We’ve got another wise guy on our hands with this tombstone. The passive-aggressive game with this one is strong – but subtle. However, instead of the deceased being the one giving the jab – it appears to be his friends! It sounds like John was loved, but they also want him to know he’s kind of a jerk for leaving too soon.

5) Should have believed her

The next time your significant other, family member, or friend is complaining about something ailing them – you might want to listen. The woman is proof. Did her friends and family just think she was making it up? Sounds like her poor feet truly became the death of her.

6) Sharing her delicious cookies from beyond the grave.

If this isn’t the sweetest tombstone you’ve ever come across then I don’t know what would be. Whoever this mom was, it sounds like she must have made some of the best cookies on the planet. Thankfully, her family was kind enough to share it with anyone who passes by. She was probably a very sweet and caring lady.

7) Every family has its own weird language.

This man’s name is unknown but it’s obvious that he was an adoring and funny father and grandfather. If there’s anything anyone should ever leave behind on this planet, it’s a bunch of positive and wonderful memories for the family they left behind. We’re sure that all of his skidaderones and skiddley jiddleys have many of them.

8) This was fate right here.

Have you ever seen a more serendipitous juxtaposition in your life? We think you’d be hard-pressed to see a coincidence as funny as this one. These two families definitely didn’t know each other whilst alive but now they’re resting side by side in total harmony.

9) For some reason, this seems okay given the time period.

If you’re not familiar, Robert Clay Allison was a cattle rancher, cattle broker, and gunfighter in the old American Wild West. He had a reputation of violence and became quite infamous when he rode his horse through town while completely nude – wearing only his gunbelt. He even shot himself in the foot at one point in time.

10) Thank you for the morbid reminder.

We mentioned it earlier and we’ll say it again – it’s inevitable. It might be a bit scary to think about, but yes, we’ll all move on from this planet at some point. At least this person, with quite the punny nickname, has a sense of humor about the entire thing. Let’s be more like them.

11) So not as cool as a pyramid.

This person has a very large ego or some seriously high hopes. One thing’s for sure, they didn’t get the pyramid they had hoped for. One thing that is happening, however, is their lasting sense of humor and that’s even better than a pyramid.

12) Right? Where’s our say in this?

Now, this is a thought-provoking tombstone right here. And you have to admit, they’re not wrong. Life is a funny, beautiful, and miraculous thing, isn’t it? One day we’re born into this work and a short lifetime later, we leave it. Many ask what’s the point or what does it all mean? I suppose that’s up to you.

13) Putting smiles on people’s faces for years to come.

Because all of us have that inner child still in us, it’s impossible not to oblige by this tombstone’s request. This funny person went their whole lives with a name that was certainly the ‘butt of jokes’ all the time, but it looks like they embraced their Butt namesake and are going to make people smile for a very long time.
