Suspiciously normal doghouse. The trick is that the necromancer's not the one leaving bones in the bowl for the dog, but the other way around.

If anyone is familiar with Discworld, this is the time to bring in Scraps
A small pile of tombstones with sentimental value to the necromancer. Maybe it's their parents, or the first people they ever resurrected, or the former ruler of the kingdom they know rule. Something like that. A little creepy, but also humanising in a way.

A flower garden.
Not like, evil or anything. Guy just really likes gardening.
A shade tree. By which I mean, a tree that continuously spawns Shades.
I used this, btw. It was great, they killed one of my players and he came back as a Shade, he's a ghost pirate now.
I asked ChatGPT for funzies and got a wonderful answer.
In the garden of the sinister necromancer, amidst the twilight gloom and labyrinthine pathways, there resides a solitary object that epitomizes the abhorrent nature of its master. It is a ghastly monument to the forbidden arts, an artifact that strikes terror into the hearts of those who dare cast their gaze upon it.
This accursed relic is none other than the Ossuary Chalice, a vessel wrought from the bones of the long-forgotten dead. Its bony surface bears intricate etchings, arcane symbols that pulse with an eldritch glow when touched by moonlight. Within its unhallowed depths, the chalice harbors a malevolent energy, an essence harnessed from the very essence of death itself.
As moonlight casts its pallid sheen upon the garden, the Ossuary Chalice exudes a sickly aura, permeating the air with a scent of decay and despair. Whispers, like spectral echoes, emanate from its depths, murmuring of forgotten realms and the forgotten souls that dwell within.
Within the necromancer's garden, the Ossuary Chalice stands as a grim testament to the depths of depravity and the mastery of forbidden necromantic arts. It serves as a focal point for the necromancer's insidious rituals, drawing upon the forces of the beyond to fuel their dark desires and beckoning forth the restless spirits that haunt the realm of the living.
Beware those who chance upon the garden of this maleficent sorcerer, for the Ossuary Chalice is but a glimpse into the unimaginable horrors that lie dormant within, awaiting the moment when the necromancer's sinister machinations reach their zenith and plunge the world into eternal darkness.
