My aunt has the sewing machine on their tombstone. I think it's a great idea. Let's passersby know what their interests are/were.

a little but very cute and sweet

My mother and father bought theirs awhile before the passed and it was a big help. It was one less thing we had to worry about and they got to have what they wanted put on it. I think it iis a great idea to put the two symbols on it. It is what you both hold dear and near to you.

I think it's a great idea. My mother passed away and she had already made all of the arrangements...down to the priest. It made it easier on us not having to make all those decisions and wondering what she would have wanted. I really like the idea of personalizing your head stones. I love the idea of a quilt.

not at alll...my in-laws had this done and when thy passed away it was one more thing we didn`t have to look after...

My parents took care of everything they could before so we don't have to.
For dad we had to buy the casket and set the rest up.
Will do the same for dad.
The plot area they have don't allow stones.
They have the brass headstones in the ground and mow over them.
I don't like them.
I find them cold and impersonal.
As for your question, I think Its great.
Your husband remembered for his service in the military and you for your love of sewing.
All kinds of things are being put on stones today and so why not put what you want?
Weird? No! Not at all.

I have my funeral prepaid, so all my DDs have to do is decide what else they want, since I have left extra money "on the account" so that if they want an urn, or box, or jewery, they can chose. Then, what money is left, is divided between them. My ashes, or the rest of my ashes are going to be dumped in the woods, unless they object. I won't be there so it is their choice.

What a wonderful idea. I really hope this catches on.

Not weird at all, it's nice to do that and avoid conflicts and or burdens for those left behind.

Way to go I can only hope that you have taken care of wills, DNR, advanced directives, power of attorney in case of diminished mental/physical capacity. If minor children a guardian.
