Actually, I'm happy to be forgotten. No stones, no graves, no epitaphs. Scatter my ashes to the wind, and forget I was ever here.

Gone home to be with loved ones and four leggers all!

 

[StanJ53]

If I was a dentist, it would be; He's filled his last cavity

 

[Ps82]

I've recently heard a song that is sung David Phelps called "Going Home." I just love it. I might even like having it played at my funeral if possible or, at least, have the words read aloud or written on the hand out.

I think I would either like to have written on my tomb stone:
Gone Home
or
Going Home

"Psalmist"​

TOL Land - Psalmist passed quietly in his sleep with his family gathered around. Psalmist a nursing home chaplain for many years served Lord with gladness, and was proficient in the study of the Old Testament book of Psalms; Psalmist also had a great love for TOL's "Praise the Lord III" thread.
Psalmist spent many years working in the printing trade, followed by funeral directing until an early retirement. Psalmist favorite line was, "I'll be the last one to let you down."
Psalmist is survived his wife, Mrs Psalmist of 50+ years, children, grandchild and great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers donations are requested to Theology Online, the website dearest to Psalmist heart.

I like both of your quotes from Psalm. Either would also be a great epitaph.

 

[john w]

John W esteemed the words of the LORD God's mouth more than his necessary food, and never compromised on....

"I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name......For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word." Psalms 138:2 KJV, Isaiah 66:2 KJV
