Interesting, witty, and unusual epitaphs found in graveyards in England, Wales, Scotland, and more. Feast on this gem:
Dr. I. Letsome wrote the following for his own tombstone:
"When people's ill, they comes to I,
I physics, bleeds, and sweats 'em;
Sometimes they live, sometimes they die;
What's that to I? I. Letsome." - Summary by MamaPhish and Dr. I. Letsome
