How you'd want your grave to look like?

[Nitlott]

I'd definitely want my tombstone not to be too big. And be simple, rectangular maybe. Don't know how I feel about photos though. Really like epitaphs, I think (if I were to pick) I'd pick one of the short poems/verses or even quotes I wrote down in my tiny pocketbook some time ago. Also wouldn't mind if the candy left would be picked up by someone. Not really possible but I'd like some type of water source to be nearby... And crows, magpies and gulls too... I'm getting too picky here.
I'd be happy if people would walk around from time to time. Why's it considered disrespectful by some when a person walks in a graveyard not to visit their relative/friend? Just walking around. Isn't it the point of cemeteries, not forgetting people? Even if you don't know them. By just reading who lies where you get +1 person that'll remember you. Even if it's for an hour or a minute.
I hope I live till retirement and reach the age where you start to think about it and save money. Sounds peaceful to pick out fonts or colours.

Sounds fun and games but that's a plan if I don't get cremated. At least my mother would want some type of grave slab, especially with the fact that I wouldn't like my ashes sitting on a shelf till some kid knocks them over. People worry too much about this stuff. I like them too so it's a win-win for both of us... But I still hope my parents wouldn't live to see me die, it's just...wrong for parents to bury their kids, I don't know

[Not really on the question but I really like this one song about all that stuff... I'm a fan of all projects of this dude. Translation's relatively good there, they have a player in left corner (the blue "play" button) which opens youtube there, but it plays live first and it differs from the studio version. Better to listen to the studio one first though. Don't know why I wrote this... I just like this song]

Yeah I initially wanted to have an epitaph too but then I realized that burial plots get taxed and you'll have to pay the undertakers and the cemetery annually/monthly and I just decided that the best outcome is to just be cremated.

I would love a good urn, though. Something shiny. Or something whacky like keeping it in a boot, a shoe, or a bag. I'll get a good laugh out of that. I don't find that a disrespect even if it's meant as one. I already die so my feelings do not matter.

Damn. That's a really good epitaph. Holy shit.

Laying in the woods looking towards the sky, letting nature decompose my body into the ground. I want this to be my grave.

Damn, half of my friends would pick something like this if had the opportunity. Even jokes aside that's a really cool grave, oh god

Like being in that forest in Japan.

Shrek tombstone, no words underneath, no smart arsed "it's never ogre" or whatever

I want a natural burial. No marker. I want my body to decay and return to the Earth. A decade after I am buried, there will be no record I ever existed there.

extremely real. The morning sun rays pouring through the leaves as they rustle in the breeze; the first calls of mourning doves greeting the sun. My body returning to the cycles of earth from whenst it came, this phase of its journey coming to an end. Seeing it all and appreciating the full view of what I was, with no more uncertainty what may have been or may yet be. Still makes me tear up thinking about it
