Every person has his or her faith and ideology. And so everyone does it in different ways or doesn't do anything. However, in Christian faith we visit the graves of our dead parents, grandparents, our children if they are not living on the earth, and relatives or friends. Today, All Souls Day is set apart to do it. Graves are cleaned and the faithful lay flowers and light candles on them.
The graves of my parents, grandparents and relatives are far in the tea estates where I used to live. I can't go there but I believe my brothers are doing all that is proper.
As for me, I am going to visit the grave of a co -worker. For many years, a group of us with some children of the foster home went to the cemetery in the town but it seems, this year only one will be there.

I don't have graves to visit, because my parents and in-laws decided on cremation. If I want to visit the grave of my cat, I only need to look out my bedroom window.

My deceased parents are buried in Tennessee which is out of my range to visit them from Louisiana.

Nope. All cemeteries and memorial parts are closed. People are not allowed to visit their departed loved ones due to pandemic.
Our government is too strict about mass or people gathering.
