What would be the last words that would be your words if knew that it was your time to pass away?

Being in the funeral profession, I can often sympathize with the concept of death. And this is a list of some famous last words given on death beds, a list of some well-known last words uttered on death beds, and a little bit of a talk about why “last words” is so important. Some of them are hilarious, some of them are sad, some of them are philosophical, but one thing's for sure… they’re all extremely memorable, and that's why I’m here to share them with you today: 1. “I am about to die or I am going to die; either expression is used.”

– French grammarian Dominique Bouhours (1628-1702)

2. “I must go in, the fog is rising.”

– Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

3. “It is very beautiful over there.”

– Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)

4. “Looks like a good night to fly.”

5. “OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.”

– Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

Steve Jobs’s last moments were written about in his sister’s eulogy about him, where she writes: “Even now, he had a stern, still handsome appearance, the profile of an absolutist, a romantic. His breath indicated that his path took him many miles up the mountain. He was climbing, but also, at this moment, endowed with the capacity for wonderment, the artist’s belief in the ideal, the still more beautiful later.” Steve’s final words hours earlier, were grunts, repeated three times. Before embarking, he had looked at his sister Patty, who stood beside him, in a different way than Laurene did, for a long time at their children, and at his life’s partner, Laurene, and past their shoulders. Steve’s final words were: OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.

6. “I want nothing but death.”

– Jane Austen (1775-1817)

8. “Either that wallpaper goes, or I do.”

– Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Oscar Wilde passed at the Left Bank Hotel. Before his death he continued mostly positive, until the end when he compared his well-being to the wallpaper in his room that he seemed to hate. After his death, the wallpaper was taken off and the room was designed to look like one of the rooms in Oscar’s London flat where he lived. 9. “Behold, O monks, this is my advice to you. All component things in the world are unsettled. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your own redemption.”
