Mod Idea: Craftable Graves

[McSheepface]

Alright so this is a little idea I had after some people have been killed in a base recently and we RP'ed out burying the bodies afterwards. You all know that right now, bodies in RP areas are quite awkward because you either have "the flies" pretty quickly, or you need to slice em up so they eventually despawn - but then you have those stacks of human steak which somehow seem to refuse despawning for a way too long time...

Soooo, what if it was possible to "craft" a placeable (persistent or non-persistent) cross, or any other "grave" model, by combining e.g. some human steak with a shovel - or something similar.

I'd love it because it would give us the possibility to a) clean up after firefights in a base and b) get a great option for RP... Because, you know, to bury an old comrade and to say farewell can be one of the most important moments in your character's development - but it takes a lot of imagination and "game mechanics tolerance" to act that out without having something better to display a fresh grave than digging garden plots...

So, I'd love to hear the developers' opinions on it, as well as the community's  what do you think?

you are able to craft a grave marker, which is a cross, with two long sticks.

Yes, we need this.

This would indeed be a good idea.
But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised walking down a street and seeing graves the entire way along said street. 

have you thought of a method to stop it being abused?

If possible, development-wise, including human meat in the crafting reciepe would be a method to avoid abuse.

That would, of course, not necessarily solve the problem of having to awkwardly slice up human remains if you want to remove the bodies, but at least it would also provide a way of getting rid of the stacks of human steak ^^

Indeed that is true. 
It would indeed be a good mod to have. 

Would be very annoying for people walking and finding a grave. 
If you could place items inside said graves would be even more interesting or if it allowed you to dig it back up... even better

Would be good idea, But how many slices do you get from bodies? Would it be possible to make it somehow that you could do only one grave from one body
