Do you visit people at the gravesite?

Question

It’s been a minute since I’ve gone to the gravesite to visit family. Some family members are used to go on certain holidays, but we have now taken a break from it

I loved my grandpa A LOT. He passed away 1.5 year ago.

I visited my grandpa’s grave when I lived in my country and made it my ritual, when everyone else leaves, I stay for a bit more, sit there and I quietly sing a song that he loved and that we used to sing together. My voice is quiet, as if it will get lost in the sound of wind, but at that time I feel like if he’s somewhere, he must hear me.

He loved music. It makes me feel closer to him, as if I can make him happy and we can still share some wonderful moments together, even when he’s gone.

I live just down the road from the local cemetery, and I often go there just for the peace and quiet, and to read the tombstones. I've even taken a few photographs in the hope of capturing a ghost or two.

I no longer live in my hometown, where my parents are buried. Every few years, I visit relatives there, and always try to take a few hours and pay my respects at my parents' and grandparents' graves. I did that in January this year when I attended a relative's funeral.

Yes, I visit my wife on occasion, she is about 2 hours away so her family can visit. I take my daughter and we visit her whenever we are up in that way, among other people.

I'm in cemeteries several times per week for burials. Besides that, I look after quite a few gravesites.

zagor · Answer

No. My grandparents grave is in the town where my uncle lived when alive and I still go every few years to visit cousins, but I haven't been to their grave since their funerals.

When my kitty cat died, I had her laid in a casket and buried at the pet cemetery. I visited her before. I don't have any realtives in a graveyard.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

Yes, I don't know why. Just feels more appropriate to sob at a grave than anywhere else I guess.
