Me, I'll simply jack the stones, drag them to the middle of the cemetery and build a strong point/cottage out of them. Who wants to screw with the guy with a house built of tombstones amongst the deceased owners of said tombstones? Catch a couple trespassers, hang them by their feet in the trees, and poke a couple holes in their necks. Drain them into a bucket and dispose of the blood offsite. Let the rumors swirl about the BA vampire that has taken over the cemetery and made his home out of the tombstones there. Only come out at night, and take a new victim from the troublemakers' camp every so often, keep things interesting. Oh, and dig up all the gold bantra hid there in better times.
Once upon a time I lived near the Old Dutch Church where the headless horseman would start his nightly ride. The nearby Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is a who's-who of robber barons, the mausoleums of the Astors, Rockefellers and Carnegies would all make formidable fortresses in their own right and if you get shot dead, well there you are!
I do miss that cemetery, taking the dogs for a walk during a light snowstorm with a big old cup of coffee...

Doesn't the "Queen Of Mean" have a Crypt there?
Back on topic, I just watched a three part miniseries on DVD called "Klondike". "Meeker" (played by actor Blake Nelson) who is the partner who shares a gold claim with the main character, winds up hiding a portion of their gold in the receptacle pit of a well used outhouse latrine.
They get raided and robbed at gunpoint by a group of bandit thugs, who scour the camp, but of course never check above mentioned location. The downside is retrieving it proved to be a sh**y job, but they didn't lose that gold...

I could build a wall around my Arlington estate and still have enough to make a decent sized bunker.
Sure, this idea could work, if you happen to live within walking distance of a cemetery. Otherwise, you're going to stick out like a sore thumb if some major stuff starts going down and you're the only one in the cemetery digging stuff up while everyone else is running around crazed.
I say stash wherever is convenient to you. My yard seems like a smarter place than a place I have to drive to. The chances of me being at home when an emergency happens VS. being at the cemetery are much more likely. So I say stash where you spend the majority of your time, but not in a place people would automatically look, such as under your mattress, in a drawer, or in your toilet tank. Stash it in the ground near a tree, put cash rolled up into lipstick tubes in a makeup bag somewhere in a closet, fill board game boxes with cash instead of Monopoly money, create a hole behind a door frame in your house that you stick on with velcro instead of gluing it to the wall, under a stepping stone in a garden path, etc. Get creative.
