| As Jews, we typically leave small rocks we pick up from the surrounding area to mark our presence. No flowers, they are happy things. Peace |

| At an Orthodox Jewish funeral, there are prayers recited. Then male friends or family members use shovels to put dirt into the grave until it is filled. A year afterward on the memorial day *Yahrzeit* there will be arranged to have a headstone. When visiting the dead a stone is left on the monument. Kohane's or priests do not go to the cemetary, it is unclean. Whenever we go to visit my husband's son, we say Tehillim (psalms) and then clean up the weeds or whatever, and then leave. |
