'The names on the headstone are all different': Karen demands to talk to cemetery manager over concerns with burial plots

For example, a suggestion made at a local forum in which Agatha, from down the street, proposes filling the local skate park bowl with water every summer in order to repurpose it temporarily as a community pool. You, an avid skater who very much enjoys summers shredding asphalt, may stand up and declare, "Over my dead body!" Now, of course, you don't really mean that you wish for Agatha and the collective community to murder you on the spot and dump your body in the dubious depths of Agatha's new community pool, but you're hoping that, by not taking you up on the suggestion, you will have sufficiently opposed the measure and prevent its eventuality.

The phrase's use is extremely appropriate in the situation presented in the following story. Should a Karen ever approach you during your shift at the local cemetery, declaring that you provide substantial proof that persons buried in the same plot are sufficiently related, simply declare "Over my dead body," and hope that she, like Agatha, doesn't take you up on your challenge and goes grumpily off on her miserable way. You could also always hand her a shovel and tell her to check for herself, but it's more likely you'd end up getting bashed in the head with a shovel—joining the occupants of the plot in question as Karen checks for evidence of their relation "over your dead body."
