Graveyard Keeper 2 Money Making Guide: Earning Silver Through Burials and Trade
Generating wealth in Graveyard Keeper 2 requires coordinating initial burial certificate sales, performing lucrative church sermons with the cardinal perk, and trading goods at repaired market stalls.
Burying Corpses and Trading Burial Certificates
In Graveyard Keeper 2, interring corpses provides an immediate source of income. Completing interments yields Burial Certificate I documents (learn corpse prep in our autopsy table guide). Players take their initial certificate to Herbert, the head of the guards stationed at the Crossroads, completing the quest Certificate, Please to unlock Expand graveyard I along with 10 happiness and 10 reputation. After this introduction, the head of the village—who operates the Village Tavern—buys every subsequent burial certificate for steady cash.
Church Sermons and the Cardinal Perk
Conducting church ceremonies allows players to collect generous monetary donations from attending parishioners alongside faith. Investing skill points to unlock the cardinal perk increases financial returns whenever hosting church ceremonies — see our faith guide to unlock the church and boost attendance. As demonstrated in creator gameplay testing with high attendance, delivering a dedicated money prayer inside an upgraded church can generate upwards of 43 silver in a single gathering.
Repairing Market Stalls for Local Trade
Restoring commercial infrastructure across the Town unlocks direct buying and selling opportunities. By repairing damaged Market Stalls in town districts, players activate operational shops where goods can be exchanged for coin, boosting civic approval as covered in our town gratitude guide. In addition to direct merchant transactions, repaired stalls generate incoming delivery requests routed through the municipal warehouse.
Delivering Supply Crates to Town Warehouse
Completing the quest Docked and Found and speaking with Jack unlocks the Town Warehouse. Inside the warehouse, players accept delivery orders completed by assembling and delivering Supply Crates. Following Patch 1.010, available Order slots scale up to 5 based on overall villagers count, ensuring continuous happiness generation to fuel church sermons as settlement population expands.
