Why are cemeteries always built in the middle of town?
Because they're the dead center!

Pun-derful
Did You Know?
"Dead center" is a play on words — it means both the exact middle of something and a place where the dead are! Historically, cemeteries were indeed placed at the center of communities because churches were the heart of town life, and graveyards surrounded them. Many European cities still have medieval churches with ancient burial grounds right in their bustling downtown areas.
