Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laugh in the face of death! That’s what this bold, brash, and often irreverent collection of epitaphs encourages readers to do. It offers more than just the deceased’s name and dates of birth and death, plus a touching phrase in memorial. Instead, every fascinating quote presents an unexpectedly cheeky perspective on the tragic, like this one from Uniontown, New Jersey: "Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake; stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake.” Some come from the gravestones of the famous: Bette Davis’s proudly notes that "she did it the hard way.” Each thought-provoking line makes an indelible contribution to our folklore.

Book excerpt: This book examines a number of facets of Western epitaph culture since antiquity, with particular emphasis on post-medieval developments in the major European countries as well as in North America. Various epitaphic "sub-cultures" are analyzed, among them the time-honored custom of composing one's own tomb inscription as well as the ancient and modern convention of honoring animals with epitaphs. It also examines epitaph-collecting, epitaph "lies," humorous epitaphs, and the change in social and religious attitudes toward suicides. The book concludes with a cultural and intellectual history of epitaphs. An epilogue addresses the question of the supposed disappearance of epitaph culture at the present time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gleanings in Graveyards: A Collection of Curious Epitaphs, Collated, Compiled, and Edited The favour accorded to the previous issues of this Book, has encouraged me to send a Third Edition to press. The whole work has been carefully revised, and an introduction prefixed. It is hoped that in amended form, it will be even more acceptable to the public, and thus repay the care bestowed upon it. I accept this opportunity of thanking numerous friends for many of the extracts from country churchyards, and I desired to acknowledge the assistance which I have derived (in preparing the Introduction) from Mr. T. J. Pettigrew's "Chronicles of the Tombs," and the Rev. Robert Maguire's Lecture on Epitaphs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
