When yo'all pass on to the great beyond the river,what do you want on your headstone, besides the usual dates and a picture of your favorite tractor or truck?
While visiting Boot Heel cementary in Tombstone, Arizona, I observed this epitaph.
Here lies Less More, He took four shots from a forty-four, no less no more.
In New Orleans, I found this interesting.
Here lies Jean LaFitte: Some say he had big feet, that fact I do not know, but without his help Andrew Jackson would have suffered defeat.

My father-in-law just passed. He was an avid deer hunter. I think they are going to get an image of a deer on his. I don't think it adds much extra to the cost the way they make them today. Computer images and such they can even show a preview of it.
 
This brings up the idea of whether or not to get cremated ?
I'm toying around with the idea of maybe ? and then scatter me in a furrow on plow day somewhere.

I've been telling my wife for years that I want to be cremated and my ashes spread over my hay fields. I can't stand the thought of my remains taking up good space for the next 1,000 years or whatever. After all how often does anyone but closest relatives visit a grave? My wife, as a Christian, doesn't think much of cremation due to the verse about those who sleep at the time of calling. She will be making the decision, but I may outlive her LOL.
 
We, my wife and I are still alive, have our headstone already sit. We have what we wanted on it. I have a JD "B" on the back side, 1st tractor I drove.
 
My dad has drive this same ElCamino for YEARS. It is his baby and he has made all kinds of modifications to it. He drives a little wild at times, and most people around the area know it.

He told me one day "When I die, it is going to be in that damn car, so just drive the backhoe there and dig a big enough hole to put us both in the ground"...

I personally would LOVE to be buried with my Farmall C right on top of me... Bryce
 
Well my father-in-law didn't have anything prearranged. He was sick for a long time and not too long before the end they went and got arrangements made. I didn't like the ceremony at the funeral. My sister said that's proof right there you better get what you want all picked out ahead of time.

I doubt I will though. We all tend to put this off.
 
My friend was disabled in a farm accident, Could only drive hand controls. We found out that his Grandad's J.D.B ended up at a neighbor's farm. One holiday we got Him in the front-end loader of a tractor, and put Him on the B seat, He was able to drive it around the field for a while. Got some pictures. Really happy for that Day. After He passed, His Family put His Picture on that B on His Gravestone!
 
A friends wife loved to mow the lawn on their Cub Cadet. She has a picture of her on the Cub.
 
I think ill put on mine.
I'm Dead
Find somebody else to fix your broke stuff !!

I say that but i do enjoy helping and fixing stuff for folks that need help. But i wouldnt tell them that LOL.
 
It won't be her decision if you put it in writing beforehand. I don't think it matters too much, The Man Upstairs has a good memory.
 
I have a good friend doing grave stones told him I wanted a JD-G "mine" and KW truck also mine on it he thought it was funny! I'm taking him pic's to do it!!
 
The masters of stone carving were at Hope Cemetery, Barre, VT. Google that for very outstanding stones and the Rock of Ages quarry.

We were in NY someplace and pasted an entry to a cemetery that said "Stop, wrong way." We thought that would certainly apply to some.
 
Since my grave site is a family tomb I do not get a headstone. My name and dates gets added to the list already on a plaque we have mounted on the tomb wall.
In fact I do not know for sure what layer of the tomb I will lay in due to opening rules but it will be one of three layers in our family tomb.


By the way............
Jean Lafitte is not even buried in New Orleans.
 
Not on a gravestone, but here's a tractor from the Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in Randolph County, Illinois.

Looks like it's supposed to be a Deere.

A close friend of mine said he wanted to be buried in his MM G706 because he hadn't found a hole that it couldn't get him out of.
 
My first FIL should of had a Pic of his oldest Son cleaning out his pockets on His gravestone. His youngest son did bring Me His Shotgun which I appreciated and convenient for then as they are both convicted felons.
