How to deal with a bad corpse in Graveyard Keeper 2
In *Graveyard Keeper 2*, corpses with red skulls should not be buried, as they can damage the quality of the graveyard. The recommended solution is to cremate them, which removes the risk while still providing a Burial Certificate.
Players must unlock the Crematorium through Body Places 1 and build it in the Morgue using six Bricks and six Bronze Details. Before unlocking it, bad corpses can be carried to the river and discarded, although this forfeits burial rewards. Later, Autopsy may remove the red skulls successfully, while a late-game feature allows such bodies to be converted into zombies.
In short
- Cremate corpses with red skulls.
- The Crematorium requires six Bricks and six Bronze Details.
- Rivers work early, but provide no burial rewards.
Explained simply
Graveyard Keeper 2 is a management game in which players run a graveyard and handle the bodies brought to its morgue. Each corpse has qualities that affect how it can be prepared and what happens when it is buried.
The graveyard’s condition matters to the player’s progress, and bodies marked with red skulls can lower its quality if buried. The player can instead dispose of unsuitable bodies, though some methods give up the rewards normally earned from a burial.
The player manages the morgue and unlocks new facilities and skills as the game progresses. These provide more ways to deal with difficult bodies, including cremation and, later, turning bodies into zombies.
