grave visits
Honoring the departed
Grave visits are trips to a cemetery to pay respects at someone's burial site.
The practice often involves tending the grave—leaving flowers, cleaning the headstone, or simply spending time in the presence of the deceased.
Some people make grave visits on anniversaries, holidays, or whenever they feel the need to connect with someone they've lost: She makes weekly grave visits to her mother's plot.
