From my highly limited understanding of Latin, it's" prodii (prodivi), vixi, abii (abivi)". High chance of being wrong, though.

My tombstone would be "This tombstone cost X dollars. if you steal it, please replace it with another tombstone worth at least 1/2 of the original. Thank you."

"Did I drop good loot?" also works.

I won't get one because I won't have life insurance. They'll throw me into a river.

Although, they may anyway...

It would be a tree. I want a seed to be planted in my decomposing body in the soil that will feed directly off my nutrients and the soil surrounding it, preferably an apple tree but it doesn't really matter. People can use it for whatever, cut it down, eat the apples, carve <Jenny & Jill3 on it or whatever, it's just got to be useful so when I'm long forgotten a living being made up of me will live on.

either an old inside joke of:

or something along the lines of me taking people with me, or zombies, or a Churchill quote, or explaining my cheese induced death.

or simply

I'm very dubious about the Google latin-translate beta. Some of its suggestions were outlandish even to a non-Latin speaker.

Did I REALLY say that? "Solvit" is the right word I'm sure though the tense probably isn't.

'Solvit' is 'he, she, or it payed for', but with a connotation of repaying a debt, I believe. 'Pro' does mean for, but, if I remember correctly, 'emo' means 'I pay for', which means that 'inscriptio', which I assume is what was meant by 'insciptio', should be in the accusative, as should its pronoun, 'haec'.

Assuming, of course, that I didn't just make a massive translation mistake somwhere. ;)

Yeah, I left out an r from inscriptio. Damn that mason, he got the 5 in my birthday back-to-front too.

Thanks for your advice.
