From Visual Pov when the camera pans down to the homestead with the graves makes not so sense with the previous one shot.
Tieing two shots that is almost if not identical with that sort of wipe may cause confusion. Reason is that we have many far shots in one place.
A shot of a sun in the sky or some shadows are moving to show pacing and then place the shot without the up down paning could be the best option. otherwise very clever cut of scenes as SSWR said :)
