    He slept beneath the moon
    He basked beneath the sun;
    He lived a life of going-to-do,
    And died with nothing done.

— James Albery's epitaph for himself (that I remember because I can relate to it).

Those who like epigrams may enjoy the poetry of J.V. Cunningham. His Collected Poems & Epigrams include "A Century of Epigrams", which in turn include someproposed epitaphs--for himself, and imagined others.
