A short collection of people who died in a cemetery

1. Cindy and Sam (along with Mr Whiskers)
Wanted to give their cat a proper burial on a rainy hilltop. Died when a lightning struck. Two charred lovers, burned to crisp holding hands. They are buried together, beneath a stone that reads “True love never lets go”. A major movie is in the works based on their life.

2. Janice “Perfect” Till (Wedding Planner)
When the new couple requested a “Till death do us part” theme, Janice insisted on the cemetery. “It was the Perfect venue“ she declared.  She was know for saying “Perfect!” to everything.  What she forgot to factor in was her severe bee allergy. The floral archway buzzed with winged activity as the bride walked through. Janice died right before the cake was cut. The couple named their daughter Janice in her memory, little Janice says perfect a lot too.

3. Tommy “Tiktok” Tolker
Filmed a viral dance on a 100yr old grave.
Grave: 1, Influencer: 0.
They never found his body, just his phone still recording. 
His tombstone is etched with a link to his final post. Comments are disabled out of disrespect.

4. Frank “Dikea” Miller
Built his own coffin as a hobby, died of asphyxiation during a test nap. Memes called him Dikea Frank, a pun on Die and Ikea “Makes a coffin, forgets the exit”. Tommy Tiktok would have killed for that kind of fame, but frankly Frank nailed it.

5. Dennis Byron (Groundkeeper)
Worked there for 40 years. One morning, he decided that it was time to take a break. He laid down in an empty plot and never got back up. His decision was respected by the other dead.

6. Rex “Relax” Jameson
Bet his friends that he could spend a night in a haunted cemetery alone. Took nothing but his sleeping bag and an eye mask, a snake decided to join him for warmth. Technically he fulfilled the bet, never collected the money. 

7. Uncle Norman Launders
Had a habit of sleepwalking into the cemetery, always came home covered in leaves and dirt. Claimed he had no memory of it, but neighbors suspected otherwise. One night, he did not come back.  His plot is unusually well maintained and always guarded by raccoons.

8. Prabu “Plot Twist” Ram (Hey that is me!)
Went to research death for his new story, took one deep existential sigh and found exactly what he was looking for. His Notebook contained 26 drafts, 42 plot holes, and one unfinished monologue. It was posthumously published  “Final Draft”.  One critic called it “Juvenile humor to die for”. Prabu would have loved it.

9. Helena “Barks” Banks
Identified herself as a dog in her final years to avoid paying taxes. It worked. Changed her legal name from Banks to Barks. Died when she fell down an open plot while chasing a squirrel. Visitors still leave chew toys on her grave.

10. Carry “Whiney” Mabel
Visited her late husbands grave every Saturday complaining loudly that he “Died just to get some peace from her”. One Saturday she sat down on the bench next to his plot and never got back up. She is buried right next to him, vertically.
