Disclaimer: I hereby attest that the following epitaphs are from the sources stated and not from someone else's website.

Even in death, people can have a sence of humor. Here is a collection of funny epitaphs that I have read about.

From a souvenir booklet for Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum, by D.R. Copperthwaite, cira: 1974:

• Here lies John Yeast,
  Pardon me for not rising. --Cemetary in Ruidoso, N.M.
• Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake,
  Stepped on the gas instead of the brake. --Gravestone near Uniontown, Pa.
• Here lies Suzannah Ensign,
  Lord she is thin --Cemetery at Cooperstown N.Y.
  (The stonemason did not leave enough room for the "e" in "thine".)
• Solomon Peas.
  Peas is not here,
  Only the pod.
  Peas shelled out,
  Went home to God. --Epitaph in a cemetery near Wetumpka, Ala.
• Here lies Lester Moore,
  Four slugs from a forty-four.
  No Les,
  No Moore. --Boothill Cemetery, Tombstone Ariz. (My favorite epitaph.)
• In loving memory of Ellen Shannon, aged 25,
  Who was accidentally burned March 21, 1870,
  By the explosion of a lamp filled with R.E. Danforth's
  Non-explosive burning fluid. --Epitaph in cemetery at Girard, Pa.
• Reader --if cash thou art in want of any,
  Dig four feet deep and find a Penny. --Epitaph of John Penny, Wimborne, England.
• Here lies an atheist,
  All dressed up and,
  No place to go. --Gravestone in Thurmont, Md.

From "Fun Fare: A Treasury of Reader's Digest Wit and Humor", cira: 1949

• Ilka Chase: I've finally gotten to the bottom of things.
• Dorothy Parker: Involved in a plot.
• Clive Brook: Excuse me for not rising.
• Lionel Barrymore: Well, I've played everything but a harp.
• Walter Winchell: Here lies Walter Winchell in the dirt he loved so well.

Other. These are epitaphs that I've seen or read somewhere, and, although I've forgotten the source, I still remember the epitaphs, themselves.

• Clark Gable: Back to silents.
• I TOLD you I was sick! --Epitaph of a hypochondriac.
