The average cemetery usually ends up full, and after a while, people stop coming and it stops getting maintained, and becomes another field or bit of woods. Albeit one with big chunky rocks - until someone steals them, or they erode away. I've stumbled on no shortage of such abandoned graveyards in my time hiking in the south, even one up in Alaska. In every case you would have never known it until you whacked your toe on a headstone.
