The most likely place to find sanctified ground, Bristle realizes, is likely by the statue atop the hill. If nothing else, a place commemorating a knight of the goddess of the sun is as clear a place as any to stand in contrast to a death lost in darkness.
The hike up the hill is quickly accomplished, pushing up the steep slope and hurrying against the sunset. Once atop, the statue is clearly that of a warrior - armor, shield, sword. It bears Sarenrae's ankh, and the inscription beneath reads:
Sir Elias Halson
Friend
Brother
Soldier
To stand vigil against the darkness, that it not spread once more.
At the foot of this somewhat unsettling monument, a grave is quickly dug, a body lowered into it, and dirt filled back in atop. As the last shovel of dirt falls on the ground, several things happen. First, you hear a scream of cheated wrath, echoing only within your mind rather than any audible sound. Second, Annabelle's ghost reappears by the fresh grave. She raises her spectral hand, almost but not quite touching Hester's cheek, mouths the words "Thank you" silently, and vanishes with a sense of finality in the disappearance.
And finally, the tension and unease that had filled the air since you first went into the shadows surrounding the abandoned village of Falcon's Hollow snaps and fades. The shadows are merely shadows once more. There is no sick, writhing feeling of anguish, nor a sense of being watched. Merely a forest, and a statue, and a grave.
