Acheson Creations had some Graves and head stones.
Michaels will have their Halloween graveyard set coming out shorty made by...can't think of the name at the moment.

I don't understand, why don't you want to use resin statues and tombs?

Ainsty! Thanks i had forgotten about them! I don’t mind resin, just find it better than 3D print resin which is a bit liney and brittle

Sarissa Precision do a set of 40 gravestones for seven quid or a complete crypt and graveyard for £35-ish (IIRC). Worth a look?

work is blocking it (boo), but have a rummage around West Wind Productions. They do a load of Vampire Wars stuff, so there could be something useful in the range.

Find a better printer? One that uses proper wargaming resin, not the cheapest stuff from the clearance shelf, and doesn't print at speed but quality? I've got quite a few things off of a mate who prints like that and it's the smoothest stuff you have ever seen, not a line in sight.  Just saying, don't diss printed stuff due to bad experiences from the past.

I was fine with the various Reaper and Mantic graveyard plastic terrain.

If you don't mind cardstock, don't want to paint, and want to save money, Battle Systems has a graveyard set.

This is a kit I found in some railroad store.

https://www.nicholassmithtrains.com/CEMETERY-KIT-OLR8525-76943/

It's not perfect, but has done the trick for me in various scenery builds and bases.  I was always concerned with the size of the little tomb, but having seen some European graveyards, I realized it actually scales pretty well. 

As to statues, I like older Reaper metal models (Dark Heaven, I think was the line) that scaled a bit more 25mm, or even some 15mm / 20mm metal fantasy models painted up like statues.

Halloween is coming, so look for those little Halloween villages at the local craft stores like Michael's.  'Tis the season for graveyard bits and kits!

You could try using some of Crooked Dice's Scary Statues.

The plinth is from Ainsty, the scroll on the front is from a Space Marine sprue.

Blotz has statue bases and graveyard stuff in MDF.

Those are both great ideas. Love the creepy statue!
