Today I realized that if we had magic in the real world we would have to have 24/7 grave keepers or shifts and the like walking about the grounds to make sure no one animates the corpse of old Charles Von Eldritch. There'd have to be legal disputes over using someone's reanimated corpse in a movie and whether or not you were allowed to. Just because people would think "Hey! If I 'Employ' a corpse, I DON'T HAVE TO PAY SAID CORPSE!" Grave robbers would be on the rise, and they wouldn't just be robbing graves, half of them would probably be Necromancers trying to work on the black market. You'd have to worry about your dead cousin's corpse appearing on live TV years after their death! Just because some MORON said they had "Totally gotten the rights to do so" when they obviously hadn't.
Grave keepers would definitely need to be pretty powerful just to be able for them to be employed, not to mention how THOROUGH their background checks would have to be to make sure they weren't secretly a necromancer looking for a quick buck.
Now you may be thinking "If this hypothetical place has magic, why wouldn't you just revive everyone who dies through a revival spell or something?" Well not everybody wants to live forever, now do they? There's gonna be graves for the people who decided it was finally their time. Or maybe capitalism made it so being revived costs more than it's worth to be revived in the first place. Imagine being in debt for life after JUST coming BACK to life.
Basically, necromancy is a good reason for not wanting magic in the real world.

Danny the Grave Keeper
So, it starred as a Tiktok Video that showed this Thread, which I tried to find the original link to.
It took me half an hour to finally find the actual Thread, but here it is.
Basically, Danny is a Grave Keeper who works at Gotham Cemetary, and he loves to Gossip with the other Ghosts.
I imagine Alfred is a good friend of his, since he makes regular visits to the Wayne's Graves so he can pay his respects and apologize for not being there, and to update them on how their son is doing.
Danny loves to hang out with the Ghosts at night. I imagine he has a good relationship with Jason Todd when be dies, and is frantic when he realizes that one day his Grave is suddenly Empty.
I just thought I would share this.
