Do You and/Or Family still Visit Loved Ones in the Cemetery?

Question

**This Pix I found Online is just a Representation of My Sister and Myself Still Visiting Our Loved Ones Graves. Many in Her Hubby's Family (Before He can Get There to Do anything) Don't Bother to even Visit the Graves and have Left them Unattended. How Sad. xxoo

I only know where my grandparents are buried. There's a picture of them embedded to the gravestone above the plot they are buried in next to each other. If my car wouldn't have gotten towed, I would go visit them. I think my narcissistic aunt died a couple of months ago. She didn't even want me around. She dropped contact with me after I stopped putting up with her narcissism, so I wouldn't know where she was buried.

I don't spend much time visiting people that didn't care about me when they were alive. I didn't have much luck with family.

Maybe one day when I get another car, I'll visit my grandparents.

I resent lost my dad this past April 21 hand he was cremated with funeral and I'll be in Michigan for his burial. With military honors. 💕

No, not really. In my religion, we don’t bury the dead, we cremate them and spread their ashes in the ocean as is customary. We have a pooja every year to remember them.

All 4 of my grandparents are alive. My great grandmother is the only relative of mine I’ve met that passed away. She was pretty awesome. She passed away in 2009.

We have a pooja to “remember” them every year. I’m not sure what it’s called though. I’d have to ask my granddad. I’m not familiar with many religious practices because I’m not religious, but I do participate in them.

We do yearly. It’s a family outing/rituals to pay respect to our ancestors.  we also went this past weekend to a random cemetery to visited others. Some dated back to the 1700s.

abc3643 · Answer

Not really. My dead loved ones from my family are over 1000 miles away.
My wife's parents and her middle son (my stepson) are dead.
The son and my wife's maternal grandparents are buried in a cemetery a few miles away.
The parents are in a paternal family cemetery about 45 minutes away.
My wife does not visit either of these cemeteries.
I do visit the near cemetery once or twice a year like on the anniversary of the son's death.
I visit the family cemetery when I am in the area which is rare.

It's a cultural thing where I'm from, every December holidays most families go to the graveyards to clean up their loved one's plots and to make sure that their headstones are still intact and everything is maintained. This is not only done during December holidays but throughout the year, just that December is a popular time of the year to go there and a lot of people are back home for holidays.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I don't drive so, even though I'd like to, I can't. When my aunt was still alive, she'd take me several times a year but, there were never any more flowers on mom''s grave than the ones I put there so, I'm sure those two cunts never went there!! I couldn't afford real ones so, I'd at least get plastic ones. Those bitches took all the money I was SUPPOSED to get (over $37,000) and told the undertaker it was up to ME to buy her one!! So, there's STILL no headstone, as far as I know!!

Tonitos · Answer

Yes but not today. People will have to visit their loved dead people through an interface app will be developed and launched. In this interface, we will have the opportunity to read even their stories throughout their lives. I hope this info finds you well. By the way, I am not the developer, but you could say I invented just this idea.

Sarahr123 · Answer

By the grace of God I have not yet encountered the death of a close loved one. I hope they all live a long healthy and peaceful life. *touchwood*

I know people who regularly visit parents and grandparents at their graves.

Emelina · Answer

Yes for me, except I live far away but when I get the chance I go and visit my sister's grave. She passed away in August 3, 1993 when she was 15 years old.. I miss her and hope that one day I'll see her again in heaven. RIP to my sister Beatriz.

LiamJHayden · Answer

No. My parents were both cremated and the ashes were spread in the Pacific Ocean. The same with my grandparents. My parents were both only children and I am an only child, so I have no remaining family.

Lliam · Answer

I used to visit my parent's and grand parent's graves when I lived nearby. But now I live over 450 miles (7 to 10 hours, depending on traffic) away, so I haven't been there for a long time.
