Visit cemeteries with a sense of history – Daily Herald
“Visit a Cemetery Day is a holiday that takes place every last Sunday in October. This year it falls on October 30. It is a day that allows us to honor the life of those who are gone. It is a chance to admit that, though they’re no longer physically with us, we still have them in our memories. It is a day when people go to the gravesite of friends and families who have left this world.
WHY VISIT A CEMETERY DAY IS IMPORTANT
- To honor the dead – On this special holiday, we get to honor those who have gone before us. It is good to cherish the memories they left behind.
- Understand life better – When we visit the cemetery, we get a better insight into life and appreciate that we must cherish it.
- Helps to remember the dead – On Visit a Cemetery Day, we get to recall the times we spent with departed loved ones. We remember all the things they’ve done for us and the memories we shared.” https://nationaltoday.com/visit-a-cemetery-day/
