My 15-year-old sister’s tombstone shocks everyone – you won’t believe the messages at her grave

A TEEN girl loved her mobile so much that her family honored her with an iPhone-shaped tombstone when she tragically died at the age of 15.

Theresa Matautia was “glued to her phone” in the years before her death, her brother Geoff Matautia revealed in a TikTok.

“When our sister died we made her phone her headstone because she was always on it,” the original video said in a post that has amassed over 2.8million likes.

“If you see this at the Manukau Memorial Gardens, it was us,” the brother, @ssouthsides, said of the grave located in New Zealand.

In follow-up videos, the brother shows that the elaborate tombstone for 15-year-old Theresa includes scriptural inscriptions as well as a giant phone-shaped structure on top of the grave.

The fake iPhone’s screen has messages on display from her grieving family written to the deceased teenager, who died by suicide in 2018.

“The reason behind it was that my sister was just on her phone all the time,” the TikTok user said.

He then showed multiple videos of his deceased sister on her phone as proof, then saying she was “pretty much glued to that thing.”

Geoff also showed that on the headstone, the phone’s display shows a group chat of seven people — representing the number of people in Theresa’s immediate family.

However, he pointed out that the giant phone shows that it’s connected to WiFi — though he joked that the cemetery didn’t have a great signal.

In response to TikTok users who seemed upset at the family’s creative choice for a tombstone, he advised that they “just have a laugh.”

“We give you permission to laugh at this video. Not everyone copes with loss the same, and our family did it in a different way.”

Many social media users commented on the videos to express their love for the unique idea.

“One of the most unique ones I’ve seen, may she Rest In Peace,” one response said.

“She would love that. and 50 years from now, her grave will be extremely cool because of the history,” one commenter said.

“This is so sweet but I would be cackling from out the grave,” another joked.

Others commented about how the phone could use an upgrade.

“Please update the iPhone regularly, she deserves the new ones!” one commenter said.

Geoff even joked about the outdated phone version, saying “I would be mad it’s an IPhone 5/SE.”
