I bet when this gentlemen died he did not expect his loved ones to take the term 'laid to rest' so literally.
At least if this fellow 'turned in his grave' he'd still be pretty comfortable! Hehe...

Awesome! Glad they had such a great sense of individuality about it.

Wonderful! If I didn't want to be cremated (once I'm dead, that is), then I'd like to have a grave stone like this one. But without the foreign sausage-like pillow - they're never comfortable. And I'd be keen on having a duvet (dooner?), too.

Appy Linguist -- is doona a Danish word by any chance? (That's what we call duvets in Australia, but it is a brand name.)

"Dyne" in Danish - pronounced similarly to "doona". I knew the Australian version - I just didn't know how to spell it!
I think it's also "dyne" in Norwegian, and "dyna" in Swedish.
