For the grieving thing, they really don’t need that much land to do it. I think the other commenter is generally correct, though.
When it comes to the wildlife thing, it’s all just low-height grass monocultures and maybe a few trees if you’re lucky. That’s not really doing the animals any favours, they need taller grasses and bushes to hide in, and more tree density than a cemetary allows for. A dense urban forest with a footpath would be far better. An example of this is Montréal’s Parc Angrignon, if you want to check that out.
True, a densely forested park is better than a cemetery. In my experience, most parks are not this type though and many cemeteries - especially those more than a century old - have more trees.
I mean, take a look at e.g. Greenwich Park in London. That's nearly a golf course!
Sounds like we just need to make better parks, then, no? Like, we’re already asking for change so why not just have that be part of it?
