1) Graveyard Humour - Dead End

1a) Cemetery Sign from Other Directions

1b) Confused?  Will and Guy Are

Firstly there is that no right turn 150 yards.  Then there is the arrow pointing to an entry for the Cemetery Hospital.  How DO you get in?

Then when you get in where do you go?  Out Patients - or Casualty?

2) Sleeping Prohibited

I must admit that I have never seen a 'Sleeping Prohibited' sign, therefore I deduce that someone has cleverly faked the word sleeping in the above picture.

3) Best of Graveyard Humour

Tough Cookie

John is dying.  However, he can smell his favorite chocolate nut brownies cooking downstairs.  John summons all the strength that he has left, he flops out of bed and crawls downstairs.  He sees the brownies cooling on the counter and staggers over to them.  As John reaches for one, his wife's wrinkled old hand reaches out, smacks his and she yells:

'No John, you can't have those!  They're for the funeral!'

Rest in Peace?

Iris Benbow, recently widowed, requested the epitaph 'Rest in Peace' on her husband's gravestone.

When Iris later found that he had left all his money to his mistress, she attempted to get the mason to change the carving. This proved impossible as the words had been chiselled by a stonemason and could not be changed.
'In that case,' Iris demanded, 'please add "Until We Meet Again." ' 

5) Scottish Graveyard Humour

Archie, an old Scottish gravedigger was asked how business was. Archie replied, 'Oh, very poorly, very poorly indeed. I havena' buried a livin' soul for six weeks.'

And the Devil sent him Anna.
