I'd like something with simple dignity, such as When you're dead some simpering idiot will probably stand over you doing whatever you're about to do.
Actually Tolkien's gravestone doesn't even have 'Beren Erchamion' or 'Lúthien the Fair' in its inscription. It simply has their names and dates, with 'Luthien' (the mason has omitted the accent) beneath Edith Tolkien's name and 'Beren' under John Ronald's.
