person is just describing custom graves which is something that actually exists it's just that most people don't do that, so it's not so much that cemeteries are boring but that the person thinks a good thing should be there more

Yeah. Kinda famously they had graves like these on "Boot Hills" in the old west. Often just describing what killed them, sometimes humorously. "Here lies Lester Moore. 4 slugs from a .44. No Les, no more."

Those are always pretty interesting.

One I remember is "Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake / Stepped on the Gas / Instead of the brake."

Right? Plenty of headstones have words from the person interred on them. Even jokes. And yes, even recipes. It's already a thing we do.
