I thought the problem was too many railings in the cemetery…

sounds very much like the town has bought into the dubious ideas of hostile architecture, and, after finding it wanting, is looking to extend it into the churchyard.

Can I inquire as to how many dead people have complained about said activity?

If someone wants to party and get their rocks off they can use my tomb

This is another niche market where they could probably find a way to monetize the activity and make it safe rather than ban it outright. Maybe have a tombstone with no one under it. Obviously the demand is there.

We used to drink and play hide and seek in an abandoned cemetery, that cemetery has been restored, we haven’t been there for decades, I feel a road trip coming on.
Maybe they should erect something around this grave, no, wait, it looks like they already did erect something.

so much easier to put up fences than fix the problem

I like the Nettles suggestion. It’s very nasty to touch, but not actually poisonous. I believe nettles are native to Britain, so non-invasive. For the taxpayer’s sake, it would be inexpensive. As a bonus, it’s edible when cooked.

BTW: It took years and maturity for me to realize the significance of the very obvious seat repair next to Delores.

WTF?
Well now I need to rethink my grave design so I can have a large flat surface. I was going to fixate on an Obelisk.
By all means, I want people to enjoy themselves at my grave.

As if an Obelisk wouldn’t work for such people?

It would work for SOME people, but also I wanted it to be tall, which would be a safety hazard.
