A way to bury remains of fallen players?

I think it would be a fun and simple addition to the game to able to create a grave or a headstone and bury the 'remains' of past players. It would be a really great aesthetic addition and it could factor into the sanity mechanic aswell, perhaps too many unburried corpses in your vicinity could contribute to slightly increased sanity loss?

 

  Either way I think it would be fun to be able to make a grave yard, you can already make signs so why not headstones and possibly graves aswell?  - Leave your thoughts below if you like.

Hmm... I like the idea of adding an insanity aura on the skeletons of fallen players... BUT... I think it becomes kinda redundant considering their deaths, at least in survival mode anyway, already weighs on your sanity. (Might not be a bad idea for a team vs team pvp mod though, or maybe another thing to happen on full moons)

 

The rest I don't see any actual need (or sense in) since you can resurrect in so many different ways, it's kinda pointless to add a burial mechanic to the game, not to mention the fact that if they're indestructible like the current graves / headstones, it can be used for griefing.

They wouldn't be indestructible, there's no reason for that. I think the best way to go about it would just be to have it as an aesthetic item, simply change the name and possibly the texture of the current human skeleton drops to "human remains" or something to that affect, and allow the creation of destructible graves and/or gravestones.

 let's be honest here, there are a lot of pointless and redudant things in this game, but they're all fun none-the-less. I mean it is a game after all, lol. At the very least this provides the player with a creative alternative for disposing of skeletons, as apposed to simply getting back bland bone shards; the new "human remains" type item could still be used in the same recipes as the bone shards aswell, it would just be that these could be used in a more creative manner if the player so wishes.

I'd like it if there were a chance to get a skull from the skeleton drops, and then we could bury the skull in already-dug gravestones to replenish them. Maybe the skulls could only be buried during a full moon, and it would take a few days for the graves to renew... or, we could bury them at any time, but only redig during a full moon.
