¿Question #224520?
Narlgoth: Matteomaw recently mentioned a 'Mega Headstone' in one of his answers, how does this differ from a regular gravestone? What will your Mega Headstone look like and say?

TomTi89: Dunno. Maybe it's just huge? I plan to be creamated and scattered, sans any kind of stone. I don't want to take up any more space than I need to when I'm gone. Of course, my family may do whatever they see fit, as I won't be here to argue. Perhaps it will say "stubborn until the end".
Blinko: Did you mean Maga?
Narlgoth: @grimsalt did you just copy and paste from Wikipedia!? @mattomaw yeah I know, my phone adds extra letters all thd time! Would 'General Eggy Esquire' be better for you?
Grimsalt: I'm getting cremated, in memoriam of witches. // "Gravestone" is the older word, being used from the late 1300s, and "tombstone" is from the mid-1500s. A headstone, as the word implies, referred to a small grave marker placed at the head of a grave. It's the newest of the three words, arising in 1676, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. (a decade after 66% of London's population died to the Black Plague of 1665 and Great Fire of 1666). One can only surmise that they were running low on stone.
pricero1: I'll go for a megalith. Words are not required.
mattomaw: Who's this Matteomaw dude?
