Instead of meaningless prose, tombstones should have a message that tells people how to survive the thing that killed the person in the grave.
If someone dies of cancer, the tombstone should read “Joe Bloggs lies here; book an appointment to get your prostate checked.”
That would give people other than the immediate families of the deceased a reason to visit the graveyard. People might start going for a day out to pick up some protips.
