Day of the Dead
November 2, or All Souls, is known as the Day of the
Dead, a time to remember past loved ones. This day,
along with April 6 (the festival of Ching Ming), is
also known as “Plan Your Epitaph Day” (PYED),
according to Chase’s Calendar of Events. For those who
might want help with their very last words, Lance
Hardie —creator of PYED —offers a Web site
(www.hardiehouse.org) on the subject, with pithy words
for you or your beloved pet for a
hearty fee. His service is “dedi
w cated to the proposition that a
forgettable gravestone is a fate
worse than death.” Do-it-your
*selfers are welcomed, however,
and the showcased examples are generous.
On the hole, I'd ra iher he in Philadelphia.
