Is it reasonable to commission a 3.5m granite crowned owl for my tomb ?

I’ve always said I wanted to rest in a public burial ground. But lately, one idea keeps haunting me:

A 3.5 meter granite owl, crowned, wings fully spread.

Options in the quote:

  • Sound module: as soon as someone comes within one meter, the owl hoots “HOO! HOO! HOO!”.
  • Glowing eyes: visible from 300 meters at night.
  • Epitaph: “She lived. She laughed. Ouh, ouh, ouh.”

The mayor is tempted (tourism). The bishop is scandalized (LEDs = devil). Personally, I think it would bring a bit of life into the cemetery.

So here’s my question: reasonable… or completely insane?
