not wierd at all . my husbands dad died and he was a St louis Cardinal fan and my hubby paid to have the Cardinal logo put on his tombstone, it personalized who he was

As everyone has said, it's a good idea to get this done now. And adding the quilt to it is a wonderful thing. Go for it.

Not weird. That's what I did after burying my second husband with the first one. They were best friends in life. That way I can be buried with both and no one has to take care of anything other than cremating me and putting me in with the guys.

I think this is a wonderful idea!! I had to do that for my parents not too long ago. It was very difficult to do. Your family will appreciate you taking care of that for them. I think your idea of the sewing machine or quilt is great too. Those things...and the Marine emblem are who you are!!

In the cemetary for the small community where I live some of the new tombstones have interesting things on them including a list of the children. People looking at them many years from now can get an idea of things that person was interested in. Many people even have their tombstone on their cemetary plots. Seems a little weird to me but we probably will do the same since we do have a spot next to my parents.

I think this is a great idea. I may use it myself!

Absolutly the thing to do for your loved ones - when my dad passed away, we were all surprized that he had everything already taken care of with the funeral home. He did have time to plan, as he had cancer, and new time was limited and mom would not be able to handle this well.

Put man fishing on Dad's corner of stone and little wren on Mom's. Dad fished his whole life and Mom loved listening and talking to wrens. Don't think it's weird at all.
