Description: I temporarily got bored of making a new cave, so I made a short term Minecraft project in the meantime. Since Halloween is around the corner, I decided to go with something appropriately festive. Though at the same time, I believe I've mulled over building a cemetery on survival in the past too, so things kinda worked out. I got 10 minutes into building before realizing the "place where dead bodies are interred" niche was already sorta taken by Mymop's cool Catalina Catacombs, but I'd say this is different enough. I tried to maintain a balance between a regular graveyard and a spOOOooOOOoOky graveyard. At various points while building it, I thought I was leaning too far in one direction, but I think ultimately it's a decent mix. I also wanted to get a build in cuz I don't know how much I'll be playing Minecraft throughout the remainder of the year.
I built it in a fairly short time, so upon seeing how close it is to creative's Z axis, I made a short connecting path to the -ZNER, mostly underwater. No pics of that cuz it's in the same style as the -ZNER.

I debated whether or not I should take screenshots of every tombstone in the cemetery, weighing the pros and cons. But deep down, I realized I was too lazy to screenshot them all. Hopefully people visit it? Sorry people who don't own Minecraft? Enjoy?

Very cool graveyard. Although I didn't like the wall, the signs on the graves are hilarious. I especially liked the grave for the Interguild's activity and the villager in it named "Wait! I'm back from the dead!"

From the first screenshot I thought it was under that cliff at about -450, 2700, west of the +ZNER, got pretty confused for a second. It's a neat little build, I like it. The signs are pretty great.

It's a bit strange/impressive that you were reminded of a random geological formation and can actually pinpoint its location. I guess it's close enough to the axis and some recognizable landmarks to make doing such plausible, but I think that's beyond my skill set. I'd be like "this reminds me of a place I saw in the.... western hemisphere?"
Thanks for the comments, both of you. I know there's not much to say about it since it's a fairly simple build.
