Are there any standard Dominican epitaphs? I'd love to know what they are!!

Bonus question:
What would you like your stone to read?

Primus inter pares

The standard epitaph in the Dominican Rep. reads= 'que en paz descanse'.. rest in peace ( I think).


My personal epitaph? .. Primus inter pares= 'first among equals'

Quidquid Latine Dictum Sit, Altum Videtur!

(Anything said in Latin sounds profound!)

How about some Latin epitaphs then? I've thought up a few, found a couple and translated:

Tam Exanimis Quam Tunica Nehru Fio
I'm as Dead as the Nehru Jacket

Fortes Fortuna Juvat. Diis Aliter Visum.
Fortunme Favors the Brave. The God's Decided Otherwise.

Cave cibum, valde malus est
Beware the food, it is very bad

... and my favorite would be ...

Stercus Accidit
Shit Happens

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

FROM A WALK IN MY LOCAL CEMETERY...

MaineGirl, I found this lovely epitaph; very popular in the DR:

"Aqu? muri? Mojica,
Muerto e jambre
y jalto e crica"

It's not standard, though.
