So people don’t accidentally cross to the other side.
To keep dead one bounded to dead.
Because people are dying to get in!
The joke “Why are there fences around cemeteries? Because people are dying to get in!” is a play on words that hinges on the double meaning of the phrase “dying to.” In everyday language, “dying to” is an idiom that means someone is very eager or desperate to do something. For instance, “I’m dying to see that movie” means someone really wants to watch a particular film. However, in the context of the joke, the word “dying” is taken literally, referring to the act of passing away.
