This 'SeeYou' concrete grave marker by Ivanka reminds me of my favorite Bob Knight quote, said right before he got fired from Indiana University: “When my time on Earth is gone, and my activities here are past; I want that they should bury me upside down, so my critics can kiss my ass.”
Personally, I would want to be buried in the same position but in a public place where people could park their bikes. I've always admired the French cemeteries for their flair for tombstones.
