This is more UA than DG but a parking lot cemetery is too weird an idea not
to use in a scenario of some sort...ghouls working the night shift at the
mall who sleep in the cemetery by day, to weird urban legends about the
graves...

*While I was researching the "Cemetery Safari" chapter for my upcoming
book Weird
> Oklahoma, I came across an unusual burial site<http://www.roadsideresort.com/stories/oklahomas-strip-mall-graveyard>west of Tulsa that was entirely enclosed within a strip-mall parking lot.
> Once sacred ground, it's now a conspicuous patch of grass in a sea of
> asphalt, a quirky spectacle to the shoppers forced to drive around it on
> their way to Radio Shack.*
>
> *The handful of graves had become an absurd sight gag that punctuated the
> often indiscriminate momentum of American progress. And it got me thinking:
> were there others like it? Surely this wasn't the only time the deceased had
> stubbornly spoiled the aesthetics of a well-drafted parking lot. I mean, the
> good spots had already started going to the handicapped; it was only a
> matter of time before the dead horned in on the action, too.*

> *And you know what? I was right. In fact, I found even more than I
> expected ...*
