TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadians are becoming wordier, particularly when it comes to their last words.
Alberta-based author Nancy Millar has wandered the country’s graveyards and says that over the past 20 years, gravestone epitaphs have begun to illustrate a trend of Canadians wanting to be more than “eternally beloved” when they
“rest in peace.”
“I was trying to show that Canadians are interesting and can be interesting in their graveyards,” she said about her book, “The Final Word: The Book of Canadian Epitaphs”.
