I'm getting ready to decorate for Halloween, and without a Disney trip planned for 2006 :sad1: I thought it might be fun -- for me and the kids -- if a few of our decorations could remind us of Disney's Haunted Mansion. I was going to put a few tombstones in the yard, and I would love to use some of the same sayings from the Haunted Mansion -- but I'm drawing a blank.

Can anyone tell me some of the Haunted Mansion tombstone sayings?

Thanks!
