I looked into this, and it's not suitable for a bot.  There are very
few instances where it flagged a grave as being the burial site of a
living person, but every one of them I checked was a false positive:
Wikidata was clear that the individual was deceased.

(The "unpermitted link to living organism" check in general is
problematic: it flags many things that don't appear to have an
"instance of" descent from Q7239.)
