It's very different for living people:
* The privacy issue is much bigger
* If you've got a reason to visit somebody, you can certainly contact

* We have this neat concept of "house numbers" and "street names" to
express an address, which often cannot be used in cemeteries
* People tend to change appartments much more often than they change graves
