Do you visit graveyards?
do you visit graveyard or any family cemeteries? how do you feel about it?
it could be a very peaceful and quiet place with all the trees and flowers and talk to a person you know in solitude but freaky as well
i always visit my grandpa's graveyard during qingming festival when the graveyard turns into some sort of bonfire but that's for me, and i feel great to go back to a person you've known for a long time and remembering them
-
not really, was probably about 4 years ago when my gran died I was at a grave
-
nah
i just remember the people who have died
i don't need to visit a rotting corpse for that
-
i have 3 people close to me who are buried in the same cemetery
but i never visit them?? my grandad visited my grans grave everyday or multiple times a day for the 5years n a few months after her death until he died,
for me it's just looking at a gravestone. i go up with my mum on anniversaries to put up flowers but idc if im not there to do it

I visit my nans but haven't been in like two years now.
I quite like graveyards, last time I visited one was when I went the Cathedral in Liverpool in the summer and just had a look about the gardens/graveyard there.

Only have a few times in my life

They are pretty and it can pass the time seeing old gravestones from hundreds of years before but there isn't anyone in my life yet who's died that I'd want to talk to. All the people that have died so far are those distant relatives you rarely see, dreading the day it happens to someone close to me but I can talk to them anywhere, not sure if I'd go to their grave or not to do it
-
No I've never visited a graveyard
-
Yes, but not my families.
I've had a cousin and my grandmother die, and I've never visited their graves. Everyone else in my family does - I guess it's just my personal choice. I don't feel the need to visit a grave to mourn them.
Last year I went on holiday with my fiancée and her parents, and essentially it's a 3 week tour around various states of America (Last year we visited Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma), and basically we visit all the capitals, visit places of interest and essentially go grave hunting. The number of famous people's graves we saw I can't exactly remember, but it was easily over 100.
Notable highlights were Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly I guess, and it was also quite surreal being in the middle of nowhere next to a grave of one of the people that died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. Looking to do the same this year with Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah.
