We’d all like to think our last words will be poignant, deep and meaningful.

Or at the very least reduce someone to tears.

But a new poll has revealed the advice most frequently dished out from their deathbed.

Using their last breath of effort – 62 per cent of people give out relationship advice.

Maybe you’d like to like to follow in the footsteps of a famous figure with some profound statement.

Although he’s not exactly around to fact check, Winston Churchill’s last words (shown above) were allegedly: ‘I’m bored with it all’, before slipping into a coma and dying nine days later.

Troubled footballer George Best apparently said: ‘Don’t die like I did.’

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is believed to have said: ‘It’s better to burn out than fade away.’

Or author Jane Austen who used her last breath to mutter: ‘Nothing, but death’.

While artist Salvador Dali quipped: ‘I do not believe in my death’.

Or if you’re a TV and movie fan, you may want to emulate your favourite character’s last words.

‘Rose bud’ as a reference to Citizen Kane and his beloved snow sleigh.

‘The seed is strong’ could work if you want to out incest like the late John Arryn of Game Of Thrones.

‘Say auf wiedersehen to your Nazi balls’, could be a nice way to bid goodbye for any Inglorious Basterds fans.

Or go out in style with: ‘No, not the bees! NOT THE BEES. ARGGGHHHH.

‘They’re in my eyes. MY EYES AAARGHHH’, just like Nicholas Cage’s final farewell in the 2006 remake of The Wicker Man.

Or perhaps you’re the kind that likes to keep people guessing, then a cryptic cliff-hanger might be more your style.

Something along the lines of…

‘The contract is in the…’

‘I’ve always wanted to tell you…’

‘You can find the money hidden…’
