Just yesterday I saw that phrase on a church next to where I live. It was the most prominent phrase in the stonework around the top of the building, and it is a strange phrase so I looked it up.
Psalm 89:48
The gist being that "all men must die, even God's own son". For it is a necessary step on the path to enter heaven, and implies the "you can't take it with you" thing about wealth and property. It also implies mercy, for whatever pain you suffer in life, the pain will end one day (such mercy!). Death, the great leveller, making all the same status.
But yeah... amusing in light of the paper and zombies.
