Seeking name of village with church with wooden grave markers

I'm trying to remember the name of a tiny village up above Gruyere that has a Catholic church, and in the graveyard next to the church are grave markers that are carved out of wood with a scene from the person's life or what their job was, etc.

I visited there in the fall and now can't remember the name of it - I have photos I'd like to label and would like to tell other people about this place.

Is it Jaun?

That looks like a really lovely place to visit. Another for the list. I am constantly amazed at how knowledgable and helpful people are on this forum

www.Charmey.ch ?

L’ancien cimetière avec ses nombreuses sculptures en bois, rappelant le métier des défunts, mérite une visite.
