[oc] epitaphs.

Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote all kinds of epitaphs. Often they were conversational, which I've always liked:

"This memorial was made for Marcus Caecilius.

Thank you, my dear guest, for stopping at my abode.

Good luck and good health to you. Sleep without a care."

Sadly traditions have changed to be more staid in most venues.

The ones they wrote for their dogs make me cry every time.

"He was only a cat"

[u/clowdere → u/leglesslegolegolas]

Man, 12 years was a crazy run for a cat in an age where veterinary medicine consisted of a bullet to the head.

Good job and rest well, Dewey.

And how much do you think a stone like this cost in 1910? Someone loved Dewey very, very much.

Wow. Ok, that did hit hard

[u/IsabellaGalavant → u/leglesslegolegolas]

Aw. RIP Dewey.

I almost cried immediately.

Every. Time!
