L.J. Writes

Ah, okay! I asked because in places like New Orleans, a lot of people are buried above ground because the water table is so high, they get flooded out otherwise. (This still happens in times of heavy rain, since poor folks can't afford higher graves--you hear about awful bone thieves and such who steal the washed-out remains for magical purposes, which is such a mean thing to do!)

It's definitely a pretty mound though. I find it pleasing in its roundness.
