I Want My Tombstone Set In Helvetica

I always hated tombstones. I don’t want a tombstone. I want to be cremated and sent to space. Or buried at sea. But if I had to have a tombstone, it will be similar to this, in Helvetica.

This one, dedicated to Factory Records’ founder Anthony H. Wilson, has beautiful typesetting in Rotis Serif. [Creative Review - Thanks Ángel!]

    For some reason all I can see is the monolith from 2001.

    The sad thing about this post, is that the font is NOT Helvetica

      And ah, the sad thing about that post is that the writer was implying HIS tombstone would be in Helvetica not that this particular one was.

    Comic Sans FTW. Just kidding.

    It would be Segoe UI, and the text would go over the edge WP7 style.

    I want my tombstone to be made of brushed metal, and 3 different coloured gems embedded on the upper left corner.
