Love these graves, are they Szekely? Where was this taken and what is the style?

Unfortunately, I don't know much about them. This cemetery is in Szatmárcseke where it is a specialty. Google can probably tell you more about it.

These graves are one of the traditional symbols of Szatmárcseke. The theory of the graves is that they form human face i profile. The other mostly accepted idea, that these graves are symbolic boats. It could be possible, because Szatmárcseke is located near by the river Tisza and deads were transported to cemetary by boats long ago, specially in case of floods.
