I’m astounded that some people have lived such prolific noteworthy lives, were world-famous for decades, contributed so much, made life-changing inventions that the whole world benefitted from …

Yet the only words on their headstone are like “Dad, Brother, Son, We love you.”

Like WHAT?? He invented the xyz and had the leading role in 300 Hollywood films & 20 Guinness world records & discovered the cure for xyz and on & on …

Why not mention any of that on their headstone?

    Funerals are for the living, not the dead. Grieving family members care about the person as a dad, brother or son, not as the hollywood record breaking super scientist.
