Your just a memory away

The more mangled gravestones I see, the more I want to have mine engraved before I die.

I think you should elaborate a bit on _why_ “your” is wrong (it’s not the contraction of “you are”) to help out English language learners even more.

Laughing at gravestones makes me feel awful. More!

Joseph,
Yeah, I was thinking we might create shortcuts on our end for the more common ones that link to pages explaining them in more detail.

I am so loving this site! I have a similar one too but it’s only focused on classified ads.

I wasn’t even aware I had a memory away, where has it been all this time?

This is a very strange thing to put on a gravestone, surely.
Just a memory away from what? And who is, the reader of the message?
Does it mean: “Here lies What’s-His-Name, if only we could remember him. Or her.”

It’s OK that you’re dead. You’re only a memory away.
Disturbing.
