Stob: Segmentation Fault (Core Dump)
Here lies /^v.+b$/i
After I've gone In a melancholy mood, this week. Went back home to have a look at Dad's bench. He was a Classics scholar, actually; went up to Cambridge and everything. And so above his name and dates on the brass plaque screwed into the wood, instead of "He loved this place" or something equally fatuous, it says: ORE STABIT …

Myles na gCopaleen + numbers
Myles na gCopaleen quoted a headstone that went as follows
hic jacet 1 5 4
0 4 1 2 8
0 1 4 2 0
... sadly the rest escapes my memory. The above translates (probably) as:
Here lies one fifer
Nothing for one to hate
Nothing for one to love
...
Whether the stonemason could carve out the letters with one hand while updating his facebook account with th eother is not recorded.

NOP
Really, out of 147 comments so far there is not one that simply suggests a simple NOP? If you are picky about it, you can put a jump after it.
As always, if you fail to describe something, do it in assembly. Here for Atmel AVR 8bit microcontrollers.
0000 NOP No operation
CFFE RJMP PC-0x0001 Relative jump
But just NOP has a nice ring to it, I must say. Short, to the point and looks a bit like RIP.

Inform
No-one's mentioned Inform. Probably for very good reason. But nonetheless, my offering (and I hope the comments system doesn't mangle things too much):
"The Life and Times of Verity Stob" by Maksim Rukov
This Mortal Coil is a room. "Not a bad place, really. You should probably not leave."
The player is a woman called Verity Stob.
Instead of going nowhere in This Mortal Coil, end the story saying "You have died."
You can play it online if you fancy (if I can post URLs).

What Do You Think?
It's assumed one's epitaph is influenced by their view on the nature of life, and death. Unfortunately we readers aren't privy to those innermost of your details, so it's hard to be truly helpful.
That leaves two main schools of thought: do you continue, or do you not?
Brevity is also encouraged, for some strange reason. Perhaps the cost of cutting stone.
In the one side, it could be as simple as: !Stob
On the other: function Stob { exit(); }
Though one could see how the latter possibly indicates lack of continued existence as well. Would all depend on garbage routines in the afterlife.
Good luck finding your final words!

Variants on a theme
Various bad puns based on RIP:
.
.
function Peace(){
sleep(1);
}
or
while(true){ sleep(1); }
or a full class
class Stob extends Person{
const DOB; //Set your value here
const DOD; //Set your value here
public function Stob(){
$now = new DateTime();
while($now < DOD){
$this->live();
$now = new DateTime();
}
}
public function __destruct(){
while(true){
sleep(peace);
}
}
}
$stob = new Stob();

Thanks -\ nd
\ nd = no data - empty posting because the title was sufficient. Don't look here for meaning, reason or cleverness. This post was for the authour and not for you. Figure out yer own epitaph. One of my aunts was deflicted with a Latin version of "misers make great ancestors, but terrible relatives." Go figure. It was commissioned by her son. The first try was mis-spelled by the stone mason; which seems to encapsulate much of her life.
Next time remember: "\ nd" means "no data." because I won't post an explanation.
