Whoever authored that first one could use an editor, especially considering this is a medium where I imagine you pay by the letter. For example, what consequence is the time of death? Similar with the precise age at death which can easily be derived from other information provided.

I like the old timey ones, where they at least put the exact ages in years, months, and days. I’d probably request such nonsense be done for my personal grave if not opting to go the route of cremation.

I guess it's kinda quaint and alleviates any need for the visitor to do basic math. But my favored explanation is that Lucy's widower, John, was employed as a stone carver.
And as for myself, I'm with you in going the route of cremation (or possibly composting now that that is becoming an option). Every visit I make to a cemetery reinforces the wisdom of choosing that path.

It unfortunately also rules out witty epitaphs, like “I told you there was something wrong”. But I guess you can’t have it both ways.
You mean "I told you I was ill" - still very popular that one.

I think if I had to have an epitaph it would be something along the lines of "If you're reading this, you should really get a hobby."

Anyone else notice the rather peculiar dates?
The father was about 13+ y.o. when the son was born ... ??

That’s a hell of a typo to make. Or 20 y.o. mom should’ve went to prison. Yikes.
