grave visit

Honoring the deceased

A grave visit is the act of going to a cemetery to spend time at someone's burial site, typically to pay respects, mourn, or maintain a connection with the deceased.

People make grave visits on anniversaries, holidays, or simply when moved to do so: She makes a grave visit every Sunday to leave fresh flowers for her mother.
