Syr Konrad has to spell out the first two conditions because when a creature dies, the rule sees it as a creature entering the graveyard, but for any other zone, the rule sees it as a creature card entering the graveyard. A trivial issue gameplay-wise, but a major difference rule-wise.
Garna, the Bloodflame doesn't word it that way, though, and that's a card still in Standard.
Wouldn't it be just the same to say "whenever a creature card enters your graveyard from anywhere"?

That wording works as long as you don't mind it not triggering when creature tokens die. Actually, I would wager that creature token interaction is the entire point of why the wording looks so odd.
