Yes, believe it or not, there is a graveyard in the village of Balatonudvari (near Lake Balaton) where the tombstones are all "heart shaped." (Some say shaped like an apple, but perhaps the point of the heart is in the ground?) See the good photographs.

Excerpt: "THE DEAD HEART TURNS INTO STONE, TOO. FIRST IT BECOMES DUST< THEN IT TURNS INTO STONE."
Of course, there is also a local legend about these monuments; apparently, a local handyman convinced the villagers of Balatonudvari to order heart- shaped tombstones because "the dead hearts turn into stone, too. First it becomes dust, then it turns into stone." There are rumors that the last of the heart-shaped tombstones stands at the handyman's grave. The creepy thing is, according to the same legend, he even engraved his own tombstone.
