My uncle died tragically in an accident last year and we're hoping to put a headstone at his grave soon. He had no wife/children but was well loved by family and friends alike. He was an avid Star Trek fan and we're wanting to incorporate this into the inscription on his headstone; something like 'Reached the final frontier' but I know we can do better, so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

"You've finally beamed me up Scotty"?
First, please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. Second, your comments about your uncle prove how much he was loved and appreciated - and how much he'll be missed.

As for your question...In one of the epic movies (sorry, don't remember which), as someone's remains (Captain Kirk's?) were being despatched into space, a bagpiper played, "Going Home." Perhaps you might look up the lyrics and reference them on the headstone?
boldly gone.

How about somthing like:

"May he achieve maximum Warp"

anyway Siorai, it was Spock and the end of "Wrath of Khan" and Scotty plays "Amazing Grace" on the bag pipes.
"He lived long and prospered"
