The Epitaph of Gurash the Brash

[just mercedes]

"It was no surprise that Gurash the Brash could not slay the dragon.
Though it was a surprise that finally, the dragon managed to slay Gurash the Brash."

I like the humor. I know having words cut into a granite headstone is incredibly expensive, so I'd trim this a bit to make it more affordable.

Gurash the Brash slayed no dragons
but a dragon slayed Gurash the Brash                              maybe.
