        I question how you know that your findings are the same in all grave yards globally. How long men or women live is irrelevant to their placement in graveyards anyways. If there are 50 men and 50 women alive in 1801, then by 1950 there should be 50 gravaes of men and 50 graves of women regardless of how long each lived (assuming they didn't live to be 150). Expressed another way, roughly the same number of men and women die each year (+/- 10% or so), regardless of how long they lived.

            I think one real reason is that men have traditionally done more physical work over their lifetimes than women. Perhaps that takes a toll on one's health after many years.

                Married men have more reason to wish they were dead. BTW - have you personally been researching this in graveyards worldwide?

                      Until "recently" in evolutionary terms, child birth was much more dangerous toi the mother, and pregnancies much more frequent, putting a much higher strain on her. The pressure is gone, the woman lives longer. Now, at leastt in first world countries that doesn't mean it's better: generally, men have a tendency to die earlier, but quickly, or with a rapid decline, whereas women's last years are often overshadowed by long, painful decay and low life quality. But this has nothing to do with your graveyard, unless it was opened very recently (and then it still wouldn't explain the 6:1 ratio). One could conclude that there are much more men than women - not very likely either. Maybe, where you found the graveyard, women aren't given separate, named graves.

                                        Your logic's a bit in question, there. The empirical data you provide would appear to indicate that there are a lot more men than women, not that they die younger.
