I've always been moved by Théoden's words to Merry on the Pelannor.

Quote:

"My body is broken. I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."

That's what I'd prefer should I go out 'in action'.

On a lighter note, I could throw them for a loop and have played a recording of myself in a Gollum-voice howling "Preciousssss!.

Sam's song "In western lands" has appropriate lines that I love dearly:

Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.
