There was a recent typo on this thread (since corrected) where gravestone was changed to greavestone. Perhaps a trick of the subconscious?...because it seems to me that grievestone would, indeed, be a more-than-appropriate name for a gravestone...perhaps even moreso. He anyone ever heard a gravestone referred to as a grievestone before? (I like it enough that I might even send it in to the "pseudodictionary"!)

It would be an odd coincidence if they weren't related etymologically.
