Imagining the epitaph you might like to represent you when you're gone can be a very healthy exercise in figuring out how you want to reside now.
To get you began, here are my top ten preferred popular epitaphs from history, in no particular order, except that the first one is my preferred. So in no particular order after that.
1. My all-time preferred is Honest O'Hara's, a range taken from one of his poems, "Grace to be born and live as variously as possible."
2. Although it was not used, Ernest Hemingway proposed the following epitaph for his tombstone: "Pardon me for not getting up."
3. Winston Churchill, ever fierce: I am prepared to fulfill my Manufacturer. / Whether my Manufacturer is prepared for the outstanding ordeal / of meeting me is another matter.
4. Virginia Woolf, filled with mystery and sadness: AGAINST YOU I WILL FLING MYSELF / UNVANQUISHED AND UNYIELDING, O DEATH!
5. Jesse James, rebellious (and beloved even though he was an outlaw): MURDERD BY A TRAITOR AND A COWARD WHOSE / NAME IS NOT WORTHY TO APPEAR HERE
6. Bette Davis, still winking: SHE DID IT THE HARD WAY
7. Honest Sinatra, prepared for his encore: THE BEST IS YET TO COME (no, not "He did it his way.")
8. Auden had written these philosophical lines that seems to be on the Unknown Soldier's grave: To preserve your world you asked this man to die: / Would this man, could he see you now, ask why?
9. Karl Marx kept on with his cause: WORKERS OF ALL LANDS UNITE. / THE PHILOSOPHERS HAVE ONLY INTERPRETED THE WORLD IN VARIOUS WAYS; THE POINT IS TO CHANGE IT
