Plot hole: The premise of the movie is nonsense. Thomas is a wanted man, with the largest bounty in history, even. He needs to lay low and deter his pursuers. So he heads out for a city, "Redemption," that happens to be populated entirely by wanted criminals who live there and lay low all together without anyone disturbing their peace. But he doesn't just "lay low;" he strikes a deal with the de facto mayor of Redemption so that they stage his hanging and burial in the local cemetery. Stage for who? At no point is it shown that the city cashed in the bounty; in fact, throughout the movie, several people try to cash it in still. Thomas just needed to be somewhere safe. The fact that he spread word that he is buried in that town only drew attention to the place, to no benefit for anyone. Literally, the last town in the West that needs publicity of that kind.
