I happen to think it's romantic, myself. Sure, they're dead and all, but to just think about the fact that they were buried together in an embrace, and that there's more than likely a tragic story behind it, gets us romantics in a stir and we come up with several scenarios. Maybe it was a Romeo+Juliet kind of thing? Maybe he was in a war and she found him nearly dead, deciding she wanted to die with him? We'll never know for sure, but it's great to dream
