📅 Observed on November 2nd — with a wink and a quill
💡 What Is Plan Your Epitaph Day?
If you think this is morbid, think again. Plan Your Epitaph Day is a humorous, thoughtful, and creative observance that invites people to imagine what they’d like engraved on their tombstone—or better yet, what legacy they want to leave behind.
In the spirit of self-awareness (and a dash of dark comedy), this day encourages us to pause and ask:
“When all is said and done, what do I want people to remember… and laugh (or cry) about?”
✍️ A Brief History with a Big Message
While the origins of this quirky observance are unclear, the message is timeless:
🔹 Reflect on life.
🔹 Embrace humor.
🔹 Celebrate individuality—even in death.
It’s not about being grim; it’s about writing your own story, in your own voice, right to the very end.
