Hi Thomas, It would be 100% fine putting in individual gravestones into OSM. It is an physical object that can be surveyed, does not move, and people care about it. Personally, I would enjoy mapping the locations of gravestones of loved ones, important people, kind of like a little Internet memorial. When you die, you get your very own node in OSM. If enough people do it, somebody will make a special slippy map that supports a very high level zoom to show each gravestone, don't worry about it not being rendered right now, just try to get the tagging right.
It sounds like this might be an import, you should follow the normal process (like the NPS import). I say go for it! Thanks Jason.
