Compiled with a sharp eye and an irrepressible sense of fun, this collection gathers inscriptions from graveyards across Britain and beyond, presenting a cast of departed souls whose final words to the world range from the touchingly earnest to the gloriously ridiculous.\n\nFritz Spiegl, celebrated polymath, musician, and humorist, brings his trademark erudition and dry wit to bear on a subject that reveals as much about the living as it does the dead. The epitaphs collected here serve as miniature time capsules, illuminating the social customs, religious beliefs, and popular humour of bygone eras, and reminding us that humanity's instinct to raise a smile in the face of mortality is truly timeless. A perfect curio for lovers of quirky British humour and social history, this volume will leave readers wondering — what on earth will their own stone one day say?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948325048539,"sku":"2026100012918-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e50379ec-b310-45b0-9aa2-f73accadbb55.png?v=1793104696","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012918-secondhand-a-small-book-of-grave-humour","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
