Building a jump in a graveyard-morally wrong?

So, at my school, there's this graveyard on a decently steep hill (for Connecticut.) At the bottom of the hill, there's this man-made canal about 15 feet wide. We're thinking of building a jump right before the edge of the canal so we could gap it. Wouldn't be too big of a jump, but we might be able to throw a 5, possibly a front-flip if we're lucky.

However, a couple of our other friends think its disrespectful to build a jump in a graveyard. Our retaliation is that we're not doing any harm to the graves or the land-we're just moving snow around.

Any thoughts?

Alright so yesterday we built the jump (it was definitely big and sturdy enough), side-stepped the run-in, and did some work on the relatively flat landing. I was about to guinea pig it, with the go pro cam rolling, and this guy in a snowplow truck rolls up and yells at my two friends and me. We pleaded our case for about a minute, but there was no way to defeat this guy's delusional obduracy. We packed up our stuff, and headed back to school. Today, I came back alone just to see if he had destroyed our work, and as I was walking down, the SAME guy pulls up. I just booked it away. We're thinking about sessioning it on Saturday night under the lights of my friend's car. Should make for some dope footage.

Just don't wear your tallest tee as a mark of respect. Keep it classy. And be polite especially if anyone shits with you.

I think they would respect your decision to shred.
