"In Bilgewater, the dead are not buried, but given back to the ocean. The Boatman ferries the bodies of the departed to the various graveyards scattered around the straits surrounding the city."
Riot, I don't know whether this is some random character you thought of or something more...
The gravedigger and the ferryman of the dead are two very different themes. While the first has it's origins in medival european stories, the ferryman dates back to the old Greeks who thought of Charon carrying the souls of the dead over the river styx.
Those are two very different archetypes and I highly doubt that's Yorick. They would not tolerate an undead that close. After all the harrowing fucks them over every time...
