@Ben - that's partly why this game exists, and why everyone here comes from an IC...if I'd put it out to advertise with 'Georgian' in the ad I am certain I'd get the wig-and-powder set looking for dashing!adventure! and possibly Elizabeth Swann. Ironically, you get reasonable coverage of the working class in the
colonies at this point, but aye...
@Maggie - if they could pay or owe favours enough for a headstone or the community liked her enough, she certainly can have a headstone. Probably won't be all that grand, but she could have a goofy skull or a winged heart and a few words of fondness, for sure. Example:

The gentry's are just lots fancier, and they buy their plot permanently, so even if something happened to their marker they wouldn't get turfed out of it. That sexton in
Hamlet that's playing with the old jester's dug-up bones when the prince walks by the grave in progress isn't doing anything unusual in an overcrowded village cemetery. Archaeologically speaking, you often get quite a jumble in such contexts, but since the notion of souls going directly to Heaven has superceeded the Catholic eventual-physical-resurrection-forever thing, it doesn't much bother folk.
Everyone here has seen dead bodies before, by the way. Kate probably helped prep their mother's body for burial, and Lucy may have helped with her dad (Widow Sexton definitely arranged her husband). Unless they're terribly mangled and/or in a deeply upsetting ritual context I don't SAN check peasants for that.
