It may not look like it at first glance, but a headstone on the Warren-Powers Cemetery in Polk County has a hidden message.
"Forever in our hearts, until we meet again, cherished memories, known as our brother, father, papa, uncle, friend, and cousin," said Lindsay Owens, daughter of the late Steven Owens.
If you pay special attention to the headstone, you'll notice that the first letter of each phrase reads 'F--- off.'
It's something that Steven Owens' family members say he often said jokingly.
"It was definitely his term of endearment. If he didn't like you, he didn't speak to you. It's just who he was," Lindsay Owens said.
"He's easily riled up. It was always a goal of some sort to have him tell you to do this," said Zachary Owens, Steven's son.
Steven's family said that the epitaph is something his family did as a harmless way to remember him, but it has now been called into question by the cemetery.

Nothing like cursing the family line. Words mean something. Life and death is in the tongue, written or verbal.
There’s no curse here, merely a vulgarity. There’s a difference.
Very funny!
Cancel culturing dead people now.

Lots of "fakes" but this one is real:
Why would a hidden message on a grave stone “Raise concerns”?
Some people just wake up every day to find stuff they are offended by...................
Looks like it is the intent within the heart.
Is it a sin to cuss / swear / curse

Isn’t the epitaph on Oscar Wilde’s tombstone “Go Away”?
I’ve seen this one in Boot Hill, Tombstone, AZ.
Not 100% certain where Polk County is (I believe it to be in Georgia and there may be more than one), but this sounds like a Florida story.
Servicemember at a command was widowed rather unexpectedly. He started hearing naughty bits, located her journal kept over 10 years of marriage and had the headstone order changed, removing any reference to his family name, put in for and was granted a transfer.
Nobody heard the entire story, however it was right about the time the “Let’s Give Them Something To Talk About by Raitt (the commie b****)... everybody was talkin!
Here lies Les More, four slugs from a 44, no Les no more.
I tend to agree with you. Might be funny now, later...... not so sure.
Karens can’t even let the dead rest in peace.
