I think the stigma comes from the fact while people know they will die, they don't want to be forgotten. They have to live on somehow. That's why we have the gravestones to begin with. A small bit of immortality. A promise we won't be forgotten.
Guess what, we all die. And animals and people will be crapping on us very quickly. Roads will be paved over us, and we will be forgotten very VERY quickly. Most of those gravestones don't even get visited by their families after 5-10 years. Yet still it's supposed to be sacred for some reason?

Now that's some high-falutin' philosophy talk.
My front lawn isn't sacred. Neither is the schoolyard, the sidewalk, or the park across the street. Still though, I don't want dogs ####ting all over them. And I really don't want them taking a dump on Grandma's grave.
If you are fine with dogs taking craps on your family's gravesites, good for you. Other people are not.
It's really quite straightforward, and doesn't have anything to do with me wanting to be remembered after I croak. Let your dog #### in your own yard, in your own house, or in some pre-determined place where dogs are allowed to ####. The graveyard isn't on the list.
