I suggest "Cuimhnigh go gheobhaidh tú bás." or "Cuimhnigh go dtagann bás."

Please wait on correction.

Memento mori, in other words?

It won’t be quite as pith and elegant in Irish, I fear. At least I can’t think of any brief ways of saying it.

Ná déan dearmad go dtiocfaidh an bás (chugat)
‘don’t forget that death will come (to you)’

Always wait for at least three people to agree on a translation, especially if it’s for something permanent.

My translations are usually GU (Ulster Irish), unless CO (Standard Orthography) is requested.

An alternative: Cuimhnigh gur dual dúinn uilig an bás [= Remember vve all must die].
I think it sounds better to use 'vve' rather than 'you' in this specific version.

Gumbi, typo: >bfhaighidh
