Gravestones should generally be somber or reflective, so in fiction, it's common to put funny epitaphs on them. It could be a poem or a record or suggestion of an ironic or strange death. It could be a pun based on the late character's name. E.g.: "Paul E. Nate - A wonderful husband, father and florist." This is especially common in video games, as the player may blindly ignore the graveyard, or be too busy fighting zombies or whatever. Can be used too as a Shout-Out or a Take That!, often suggesting the fate of a character from another, rival work. Can be an example of Truth in Television. Subtrope of, but Not to Be Confused with, Black Comedy. Can sometimes feature Lame Last Words. Compare to The "Fun" in "Funeral". If you have some free time, drop by Trope Epitaph for a humorous case of this trope from this very wiki. |

Betrayal at Krondor had a mix of ordinary and humorous quips on the gravestones, and you were also able to dig up the graves. Most graves had nothing special, some had hidden items hinted at by the eulogy (for example, a gravestone reading "Drank his milk every day" hid a few vials of milk), and some had "The fiend beneath this stone is trapped by dirt, not by death": Zombies! | |

The first five "Treehouse of Horror" episodes used these in their openings. The last one to use them actually had a tombstone reading "Amusing Tombstones", signaling the retirement of the gag, until it was brought back for the twenty-ninth Treehouse of Horror. In the "Treehouse of Horror I" segment "Bad Dream House", the Indian burial ground includes gravestones for Tonto, Mahatma Gandhi (who wasn't a Native American Indian), Crazy Horse and Not So Crazy Horse. The "Treehouse of Horror III" segment Dial "Z" for Zombies has graves marked "Fish Police", "Capitol Critters" and "Family Dog", all of which were animated series that tried and failed to compete with The Simpsons in primetime. |

After Homer fakes his death to get off working as a garbage collector, Marge is visited by Patty and Selma, who quite gleefully try to gift Marge what they have been saving for ever since she married: a graveyard spot for Homer with accompanying tombstone that reads "Homer Simpson: we are richer for having lost him". Another episode shows the family is using Bart's gravestone as a tea table. It reads "Bartholomew J. Simpson: Son, Brother, C-Student." |

The Catherine Tate Show featured the extremely popular character of Lauren Cooper, a mouthy schoolgirl whose catchphrase is "Am I bovvered?" (bothered). In the 2007 Christmas special, she is kayaking and says this to a man who warns her to stay away from a particular stretch of water. She ignores his advice, and is killed when her boat goes over a waterfall. Her friends are then seen standing by her tombstone, which is inscribed with the words "I still ain't bovvered". | |

Eugene Greenhilt's tombstone in The Order of the Stick, in addition to listing his many dates of death and resurrection, reads, "Master Wizard, Devoted Husband, Passable Father".

"Sir Sedrik Spinwitovich (Admiral Spinwitovich). Confused though he was, he built the greatest naval force ever assembled in a land-locked country." "Ivan DeRose, Champion of Winter Dog Racing.

The Elder Scrolls: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has a whole graveyard of these in its expansion pack, with new tombstones added with each dead character, regardless of involvement in the main storyline. Every new Sheothian has a unique narrative regarding their personality on their tombstones. The Elder Scrolls Legends: Battlespire had another whole graveyard of these, and this graveyard was referenced to in The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, many of the word walls that you get your words of power from are epitaphs of some sort in the dragon language. A lot of them say something about some hero who died in battle, or some sort of ancient Nord proverb, but some of them say something like this: |

Team Fortress 2: Spy: "Here lies Scout. He ran fast and died a virgin." Harvest_event has a tombstone reading "RIP The Tenth Class," a reference to players constantly clamoring to discover/add a hidden tenth class or the removed Civilian class from the Hunted game mode. Deathcam screenshots are a more ephemeral, digital form of this, since they always read "You were killed by [killer's name]." Some players would have therefore take on names like "An Expired Sandvich" or "Irony" specifically to have fun with this feature. More bawdy players would use names that cause the deathcam screenshot to imply death by more raunchy means for much the same reason. The recently added taunt, the Soldier's Requiem, has him plant down a grave (that he was carrying with him the whole time) that says, "R.I.P. Here lies maggot. I win. The end." |

The PC game Sacred does this, including such epitaphs as "And he said, 'How long will the flying spell last?'" and the fourth-wall breaking "For the ultimate cheat of void, enter DOS, type 'format C:\' and enter." | |

As always, there is an example from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When Buffy dies at the end of season 5, her tombstone reads Buffy Anne Summers, beloved sister, devoted friend. She saved the world. A lot. | |

Baldur's Gate: The graveyard in Nashkel is full of these, including an Easter Egg that'll trigger an Optional Boss fight if you click on it too many times. You get things like "Here lies X, who was killed by (long list of summonable creatures)" followed by the Latin for "do not call up what you cannot put down", implying that this was a hapless summoner who didn't know what he was getting into. Dave F. Slain by 13 Gibberlings, 4 Kobolds, 6 Ogres and 2 Dire Wolves. Ne invoces expellere non possis. (Do not call up that which you cannot put down.) |

The cemetery by the Ace of Spades Castle in The Riddle of Master Lu has such quirky inscriptions that the Player Character can make one of his "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" cartoons about them. One seems to contain a dating advertisement by the deceased's widow. | |

The Cat Who... Series: In book 20 (The Cat Who Sang for the Birds), Qwilleran goes exploring in a cemetery with a knowledgeable local and discovers a number of gravestones that have this. Among these is one described as "the ultimate his and hers". One reads "Shot by her dear husband", and the other next to it announces that he was "Hanged for killing his dear wife". | |

In one Doctor Who New Adventures novel, the Doctor, at a funeral, speculates on what his gravestone would say. Benny suggests "When I said 'Look me in the eye and pull that trigger', I was being metaphorical." He thinks it's more likely to be "Look out, he's behind you." | |
