1. Gather your ingredients: coconut shavings, food dye, chocolate cookies, butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla instant pudding, milk, Cool Whip, gravestone-shaped cookies, chocolate frosting and a casserole dish.

3. Put two packages of chocolate cookies into a plastic bag, then seal the bag.

7. Add the two mixtures together and stir until it has been fully blended together.

9. Spoon dollops of the pudding mixture on top of the crushed chocolate cookies in rows.

11. Add another layer of crushed chocolate cookies.

13. Using chocolate frosting, spell out “RIP” onto the gravestone-shaped cookies. Insert the cookie “headstones” at the top of each of your gravesites by pushing them down into the layer cake.

4. Gently crumble the chocolate cookies into “gravel” sized chunks.

6. In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 packages of vanilla instant pudding, 3.5 cups of milk and an 8 ounce container of Cool Whip.

8. Cover the bottom of a casserole dish entirely in the crushed chocolate cookie “gravel.”

10. Spread the dollops until another layer has been formed.

12. Arrange the green coconut flake “grass” around the crushed cookie gravel to create fresh gravesites.
