Open Grave "Trash Bins" in Cemeteries

I'm sure we've all seen graveyards or graveyard-style areas that are just full of PC corpses, piling up until there's a reset, which is cartoonishly terrible/dystopian. Sure, you can bash the corpse (and now bash the skeleton) or throw the body in a trash bin, but even a lot of evil characters would consider that tasteless.

I propose that graveyard areas all be equipped with an unmovable "open grave" that functions as a trash bin, in which corpses can be dropped to destroy them. This will significantly improve burial RP since we won't have to massively suspend disbelief over dumping another corpse on a corpse-pile while make-believing we're decent people.

If there's reason why the bodies can be needed, the open grave could instead be temporary storage like the unmovable crates/barrels that can be found throughout the module.

Edit: for places like Skaljard where there isn't a good place for a graveyard but the body pile is a serious problem, an object that looks like a campfire called a "Funerary Pyre" could serve a similar function. It's still some suspension of disbelief to believe that you could cremate a person on a fire that small, but it's a lot better than the current Body Pile Problem. For Skal specifically, I'd suggest near the Dunmarle ferry or through the south gates near the Founder's Cave.
