Dust to dust.

From OddlySpecific.com.
The best part of this was the comments people left, with suggestions for alternate signs which could convey the same meaning. Among them:

Ladies and gentlemen, the octopus has shuffled off this mortal coil.
OCTOPUS IS DEAD. GO AWAY.
The Octopus is dead. Long live the Octopus.
The octopus has begun its death cycle.
This is an ex-octopus!

And a couple of other winners:

Please drop by our cafe and sample our fresh calamari!
Sorry kids. Grandma has completed her life cycle.
