(Found) In a future that destroys cemeteries, one undead person rises and creates havoc

[42pigeons]

I was going down a rabbithole of 1950s/60s archived science fiction magazines, and I came across a story where, in the future, an undead man rose from his grave as his resting place, the world's last cemetery, was destroyed. He proceeded to try and destroy a future world that was much gentler than the one he grew up in, killing several people in a world that had removed itself from a lot of different kinds of pain, especially by using incinerators in special facilities to end people's lives. He was finally fully killed himself in one of these incinerators.

Perhaps "Pillar of Fire" (1948) by Ray Bradbury?
