add your new graveyard to the database, compile and run

example of query of your graveyards

insert into `game_graveyard_zone` (`id`, `ghost_zone`, `faction`) values('1500','11','0');
insert into `game_graveyard_zone` (`id`, `ghost_zone`, `faction`) values('1501','1377','0');

Very nice custom mod, although I think there maybe could have been a cleaner way of doing it. Maybe instead of hard coding the custom graves, loading them from the database?

[zerkesh]

This is rather interesting for me aswell.

I see that the thread is getting some wrinkles but I'll dig it up again though as far as I can see it, hard coding it into the dbc is currently the only opt. Loading from the DB would require some clever tweaks.

Anyone got more input?

I found a work-around from the Scriptdev forums. Simply delete the wanted zone or graveyard link in grave_yard_zone. People releasing in the zone will release and stand upon their corpse, adding a spirit healer is a easy matter.

Not the most convenient solution, but better than hardcoding in the core.
