A suggestion is its own epitaph. But the suggester offers it to the suggestee to adopt as some part of the suggestee’s own epitaph. My suggestion: Write your own epitaph. #talkingtomyselflettingyoulisten #epitaphs

"“I wanted to make a story about animals on the brink of extinction,” Pavlina Ecclesiarhou The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, which assesses over 19,000 threatened species, originally inspired San Francisco-based artist Pavlina Ecclesiarhou to begin her Epitaphs series. Photographing a selection of these animals at natural history museums worldwide, Ecclesiarhou has produced a collection of images that highlights these threatened species and seeks to increase public awareness about the imminent loss of biodiversity. Though these animals are not yet extinct, Ecclesiarhou chose to photograph taxidermied specimens for her images, encouraging viewers to reflect: can they be conserved as living species in the wild, or are they fated to be preserved in dioramas at natural history museums? See "Epitaphs: Silent Stories" by #PavlinaEcclesiarhou, pre-security, in Terminal 3. http://bit.ly/2m6Yksl" This was posted to our Instagram account on April 02, 2017 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729359673/

#Death #Graves #Headstones #Epitaphs

I turn 75 in a couple of months but I like planning in advance.

I just bought a grave site a couple of months ago, which happens to be located directly across from the graves of my mother & father.

I've also received a proposed design of the headstone for my grave, which mimics that of my parents, but I'd like to add an epitaph.

I expect to live at least into my 90's. So, there's no rush in making a final decision but . . .

Here are 4 epitaphs at I'm considering. Which do you like best?
