The funniest I've seen was in a Key West cemetery in the Jewish section. It just read, "I Told You I Was Sick"
I would like mine to read two words, "How Absurd"

Being a recovering alcoholic, I would like mine to read " I died sober and I had a very good life". When I die, I don't won't friends to be sad. I want them to celebrate the life I've lived.

I've always liked the old-style gravestones with skulls and creepy sayings engraved on them. I particularly like this one I saw on a gravestone in Maine:
"My dear young friend, as you pass by
Remember, you were born to die.
As you are now, so once was I,
As I am now, so you will be.
Prepare for death and follow me."

Hmmm, my tombstone...
Maybe just "Don't tread on me." But written in Welsh, so it will make people curious to the point of distraction and they will invest a lot of time and effort into getting it translated, just to learn it says "Don't tread on me," and I will have succeeded in pissing them off from beyond the grave.

I think falling asleep next to someone and passing on would not be that traumatic. Anyone who goes out doing the thing, or having just done the thing they love is a fortunate soul, imo.
If he was dying, and it was his dying wish to couple, one last time, I think his partner would feel empowered and loving, rather than traumatised.
If they died simultaneously, in the warm glow of connectedness, again, no trauma.
If he dies as she desperately tries but ultimately fails to undo the belt around his neck, then yes, this could be traumatic.
