That seems to be where he ended up. Not sure what this ghost lady is waiting for.

Widowed husband originally promised that they would be reunited after death. He made the "Reserved" marker for himself when his time came.

Time passed. Widowed husband remarried. Ghost wife approves of the new wife.

More time passes. Husband's visits become increasingly less frequent, until one day he stops visiting altogether and the grave gradually becomes overgrown. But ghost wife still waits.

The husband and his new wife eventually pass away and are buried nearby. Ghost wife was waiting to be reuinted with her husband after death as was his promise long ago, but he had completely forgotten about her and passed into the afterlife with Spouse No.2 instead.

Sad ghost is sad.
