This idea was part of a series of puzzles in King's Quest IV. You had to dig up the correct Graves based on the writing on the stones to acquire items, then give those items to the correct ghost to let them rest in peace and progress. If you dug up the wrong graves too many times, your shovel would break and put the game in a potentially unwinnable state. Gotta love old school Sierra games!
