Dead Funny – the Little Book of Irish Grave Humour

ebook

A collection of curious Irish gravestone inscriptions from across Ireland and further afield
Dead Funny is a selection of unusual, funny and often touching epitaphs from graveyards across Ireland. Compiled by Allen Foster, an Irish journalist who specialises in finding quirky and hilarious historical stories, Dead Funny is a hilarious homage to the bizarre tombstones erected across Ireland and beyond.
Here lies Pat Steel;
That's very true!
Who was he! what was he!
What's that to you?
He lies here, because he
Is dead – nothing new.
Here lies the remains of John Hall, Grocer
The world is not worth a fig
I have good raisins for saying so
This stone was raised to Sarah Ford,
Not Sarah's virtues to record
For they're well known to all the town
No Lord; it was raised to keep her down
