Create a Sign

hi Guys,
I have some troubles creating a Sign after Death. This is my Code:

Code:

    public void placeGrave(EntityDeathEvent event )
    {
        Entity ent = event.getEntity();
        Player player = null;
        if ( ent instanceof Player)
        {
            player = (Player) ent;
            String name = player.getDisplayName();
            Block block1 = player.getWorld().getBlockAt(player.getLocation( ).getBlockX( ), player.getLocation( ).getBlockY( ), player.getLocation().getBlockZ( ));
            //Block block2 = player.getWorld().getBlockAt(player.getLocation( ).getBlockX( ), player.getLocation( ).getBlockY( ) + 1, player.getLocation().getBlockZ( ));
            block1.setType(Material.SIGN_POST);
            //block2.setType(Material.SIGN);
            Sign sign = (Sign) block1;
            sign.setLine(1, "R.I.P.");
            sign.setLine(2, name);
            //sign.setLine(1, "Something");
            //sign.setLine(1, "Something");
        }
    }

It creates a Sign, but it doesn't print the text on it.
Please Help me

try to cast sign from blockstate. that seems to be the most popular method.
