My siblings and I just paid for my sister's stone. I'm intimately familiar with paying for tombstones, unfortunately.
Sorry, didn't realize we were joking when I wrote my reply.

Kinda hard to know which way to go in the lounge. When my father died, my mother asked what to put on the headstone we (the 3 kids) said "Husband, father, grandfather" but she decided only to put "Husband". And its written in stone and it hurts.
As I said to my sister, I guess we're going to put "Wife" on hers so it matches.

Or at least well enough to get someone's attention.

UNDER the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie: Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you 'grave for me: 5 Here he lies where he long'd to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Of course, cremation, and the sprinkling of my ashes in several places renders all this academic.
