Cemetery Ideas

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what I could do the next time I visit the graves of loved ones. So far, I've sprinkled the ground with Holy water, said the Requiem prayer in Latin and the Holy Rosary.

If you say the LOTH's you could recite the Office for the Dead for the appropriate time of day.

I like to bring flowers (white) and pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

There is an indulgence, that may be granted to those souls, for the week of All Souls.

Make a contrite Confession, Penance, & Reconciliation.
Attend holy Mass and recieve the Most Blessed Sacrament in a state of grace.
Exercise devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary by reciting a series prayers, properly disposed.

The following link should be of some assistance.
