I find it extremely weird but it's because where I'm from it's illegal to bury people in the backyard or really anywhere that's not a cemetery

If you already have an “active” family plot on land (more common in older more rural US states but still not common), you can sometimes still get permission to bury someone in that existing area, but it is illegal to just bury bodies yourself in your backyard anywhere you want (and bodies definitely would be buried deep enough that a kid would not be able to dig them up nightly to snack on)
