Sepulcro, a cemetery in Nuevo Paraíso.

A Cemetery or graveyard is a location where deceased people are buried. Many cemeteries are found throughout the Red Dead series.

Overview[]

More graves may be added as you progress through the story or complete Stranger side-missions or turn in bounty targets. Cemeteries are also used in place of gang hideouts in Undead Nightmare.

Red Dead Revolver[]

The cemetery in Tarnation serves as the site of the mission "The Cemetery", in which Red Harlow seeks the bounty on Mr. Black's head.

Red Dead Redemption[]

Various graveyards are located throughout the in-game world and can be visited. Few living individuals can be found dwelling around them though Seth Briars, a grave robber, is often encountered when he is amidst desecrating graves.

Undead Nightmare[]

In Undead Nightmare, cemeteries are spawning grounds for the Undead hordes. The player must burn coffins inside the cemetery and then proceed to clear said cemetery of all undead, including one previously deceased storyline character buried in the vicinity. After all zombies are killed and all coffins are burned, the cemetery is cleansed and will stay that way for one in-game day. Graveyards are also the locations used for Multiplayer maps in the Undead Overrun game mode.

Cemetery Markers[]

When visiting the various cemeteries found throughout the game, be sure to pay your respect to the dead and read some of the tombstones. There are often humorous ends that many a person met and there is also some information related to the other many colorful characters in the game. While not all are legible, players may use a scope or aim at the markers to get a closer view of them.

Trivia[]

  • At the Coot's Chapel cemetery, there is a grave marker with the name "A Cowboy Without a Name," a clear reference to the protagonist of the Dollars Trilogy, the Man With No Name.
  • At the Coot's Chapel cemetery, there are grave markers for five of the ill-fated MacFarlane Brothers. Ethan, who did not fare too well in life, at age 19, succumbed to 'foolish choices' as his epitaph reads "Never try to milk a bull."
  • In Odd Fellow's Rest, the player can find several tombstones with strange causes of death, some of which are purely humorous. The tombstone of Peter Turner reads "He'll never dance with another", referencing the Beatles' song "I Saw Her Standing There".
  • In the cemetery beside Blackwater Chapel, there is a grave of a man named Harrison Cherry who died in 1968 as stated on the gravestone. This would mean that the man died 51/54 years after the time the game takes place in. This is possibly a reference to Beatle George Harrison's cherry-finish 1964 Gibson SG Standard Guitar, which he used up until 1968 when he was given a 1957 Les Paul Goldtop (refinished in cherry) by Eric Clapton.
  • On a tombstone beside the Blackwater Chapel, the name Clinton Underwood can be seen. This is a parody on the famous western-actor Clint Eastwood.
  • On another tombstone beside Blackwater Chapel, it reads "Wake me... if something interesting happens". This could be a reference to the final words spoken by Master Chief, the protagonist of the Halo series, in Halo 3. Additionally, the marker simply has the name "John" transcribed on it, which is Master Chief's name.
  • In the French version of Red Dead Redemption, Truman Briggs' tombstone reads that he died in 2892.
