cemetery visits

Trips to graves

Cemetery visits are trips to a graveyard, typically to honor or remember the dead.

People make cemetery visits to tend graves, leave flowers, or simply sit with departed loved ones: She makes weekly cemetery visits to her mother's plot.

The phrase often implies a ritual of mourning or remembrance rather than a single occurrence.
