No, absolutely not. “Grave”, as in “graveyard”, is an Old English (Germanic) root meaning to dig; a ditch or hole in the ground. “Grave”, as in “serious”, comes from a Latin word meaning “heavy”, as in “gravity”.

Yes, it is derived from grave, to mean solemn or solemnly. It has a serious aspect because generally things dealing with death or dying are taken with the utmost seriousness and with sincerity.
